Born in Sarrebruck, in Germany, Michal Zingraf had just three years old when his parents moved in French Riviera. He grow up there, has fallen in love with this amazing place and sells it today.
Under the exclusive banner of Christies International Real Estate as sole agent in south of France (French Riviera and Provence), Michal Zingraf has become a reference name in luxury real estate and offers the best properties of French Riviera and Provence. Over three decades, Michal Zingraf and his group has kept satisfying the requirements and demands of an international clientele*, proposing exceptional, unique and spectacular valuable properties both for sale and seasonal rentals.
Remarkable career for a discreet man leading today eleven agencies from Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat to Saint-Rmy-de-Provence, sought after places as Cannes, Mougins and Saint-Paul de Vence. Like the whole Provence-Alpes-Cte-dAzur region, these destinations remain the most privileged locations to invest in, secluded from the economic agitations. As a matter of fact, the region is nowadays the first area in the world for second home investments.
Far from the trivial considerations on the real estate luxury market, this hedonist man who conjugates the art of entertaining and family life, also likes Art. Warned collector, Michal Zingraf opened in 2012 a magnificent gallery dedicated to the photography and the sculpture, nicely baptized Opiom Gallery, situated in Opio (25min from Cannes).

HiThe Bourbon Tunnel, Walk Through Naples' Underground Treasures /Luciana Squadrilli
40 EuropE as youvE nEvEr sEEn bEforE!
Naples is one of Italy's main cities, widely famous for its history, culture and for its breath-taking panorama over the eponymous bay, framed in an unforgettable image by the islands of Ischia and Capri and the unmistakable shape of the vesuvius volcano. The city's streets, always bustling with people's voices and enticing street-food smells, are packed with historical buildings, churches and museums.
but there is a quieter side of naples to be discov-ered: its incredible underground.
Being one of the oldest, continuously inhabited, metropolises in the world since the VIII century B.C., Naples is made up of several layers testify-ing to the different civilizations which settled here one after the other throughout the centuries. While any new infrastructure works reveal new findings dating back to the Greek, Roman or Medieval age, some recently discovered areas of the un-derground city have been restored and are open to the public.
amongst the different sites of underground na-ples, the Bourbon Tunnel around 800 meters of winding large tunnels, huge caves and narrow cul-verts definitely is the most fascinating.
In 2007, geologist Gianluca Minin, who describes himself as a cave hunter, found evidence of the existing tunnel while completing an inspection in the town center. He and his colleagues decided to examine the findings in depth, starting to exca-vate the site by themselves. What they found was an incredible layering of remains dating back to different ages, from the 17th century to the post-war period. They founded a non profit associa-tion to preserve the place and make it accessible. Thanks to a team of volunteers, excavations are
still ongoing, unearthing more sections of the an-cient path and reconstructing its complex history.
The main underground route was built in 1853 by order of Ferdinand II of Bourbon, wishing to pro-vide himself with an escape from the Royal Palace to the barracks in Via della Pace (now Via Morelli) in fear of turmoil following the revolution of 1848. The excavation started out of the tuff rock from the barracks; the Royal Gallery which intersected the aqueducts and required complicated engi-neering work was supposed to be wide enough for horses and soldiers, but after around 150 me-ters the different composition of the soil made the widening impossible. The excavation of narrower routes went on for a few hundred meters, and was then abandoned.
The caves were not, though. Besides continuing to be used as water tanks for the city's supply, throughout the centuries they were also utilized as landfills, warehouses, judicial storage, air-raid shelters and smugglers hideaways.
Today the bourbon Tunnel offers an emotional journey that takes visitors through the belly of the city, with two different entrances and guided tours depending on one's own interests and abil-ity. visitors can access the Tunnel from vico del Grottone, near Plebiscito Square, or from the Mo-relli car park (in itself, an amazing structure). The Standard Tour goes down into the old cisterns of the aqueducts; the adventure Tour also includes the visit of a full cistern and a short sailing on a raft over the waterlogged unfinished metro gal-lery built in the 1990s; in the Speleo Tour, donning lighted helmets, overalls and gloves, visitors crawl through the aqueduct tunnels to reach the most beautiful cisterns still full of water and even zip-line across one of them.

tips
In any case, during a visit, it is possible to admire the signs of clever, or illicit, exploitation of the sub-soil: the tracks of the ancient "pozzari" (the men who kept the water tanks clean), the graffiti and remains of the Second World War's shelters, in-cluding electrical and sanitary systems; the stun-ning collection of vehicles and motorcycles of the 40s, 50s and 60s, confiscated from the mob.
But the Tunnel recently awarded with the PAM prize, appointed by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean for creating touristic and cul-tural development in the Mediterranean region is not only intended to celebrate the past. Its fasci-nating spaces host art exhibitions, cultural events and fashion shows, mixing ancient and contem-porary. We strived to open this place to visitors Minin says and to bring it back to the city. We wanted to also attract those who think that under-ground means poky and unwelcoming, showing them the opposite is true. And we succeeded: we salvaged a part of naples' underground making it a place of global interest. Thanks to the Tun-nel, many tourists now change their planned itin-erary and decide to spend more time in Naples, re-establishing its prominent role in tourism and culture.
