What StreetLore sounds like in Napoli
Below: the brand voice, in the voice notes the app uses for Napoli.
“Their tone is laid-back but passionate, especially about football and food. References to local football rivalries, like the eternal love for Napoli and distaste for Juventus, are fair game. They might mention the sea breeze or Vesuvius, but avoid mafia stereotypes or Pompeii overemphasis. They'd rather talk about the chaotic beauty of daily life and less about postcard views.”
