The Vico, and Vicoletto, of Zuroli, more commonly called Vicolo dei Zuroli[1][2] (formerly Vico de' Boccapianola) are two historic alleys located in the historic center of the city of Naples, they are located near Via Forcella (Furcella in Neapolitan dialect), near the church of Pio Monte della Misericordia, art museum and historical place of Naples since 2005, between Via dei Tribunali and Via Vicaria Vecchia, in the Pendino district.[3]

In the Vicolo dei Zuroli there is an ancient noble palace, which previously belonged to the noble Boccapianola family and subsequently acquired, restored and enlarged by another noble Neapolitan family, that of Zurolo from which they took their name.

They converge in Via Carminiello ai Mannesi, where the archaeological excavations of San Carminiello ai Mannesi are located, from which the street takes its name.
