Older neighbour of mine served in Naples during WWII and remembers it fondly.
He is not on the Internet (too complicated!) but has a DVD player. Would like to try and find him something to watch that would bring back memories.
There is a film with Clark Gable and Sophia Loren 'It happened in Naples' but from the description it seems to be mainly in Capri.
Looked at films like The Bourne Supremacy, but only had about 10 seconds.
Haven't seen 'Eat Pray Love' - would that be any good?
I know I can bring him into my house and we can watch travel stuff on YouTube, but I think he would prefer to watch something in his own time.
Any thoughts?

Thanks jno. Got the Bourne Supremacy (in the £ shop) on the basis that part of it was filmed in Naples. Got about four seconds of the harbour, but will try your suggestion. Thanks.
Was this 1944? Do you know the regiment. Do you know where else he served (ie Cassino, Anzio, Rome, etc?) I have LOADS of stuff because my grandfather served in Naples - we took him back there in 2013. (We did bring him home again......)
I have DVDs, books, photos. You name it, I've probably got it. Did he serve only in Naples or was he in the cohort that moved up to Rome?

I should also say, my mother wrote a book about the Italian campaign (which is excellent and which she refuses to publish). If you let me have details, I might be able to extract some bits for him. She has a significant number of contemporaneous photographs and accounts from that time.
