Napoli Exotic

Napoli Exotic, the realm of exotic animals in Ercolano

Born as a meeting point for enthusiasts and the curious, Napoli Exotic has quickly become the largest fair dedicated to exotic animals in Southern Italy. The event takes place in Ercolano, in the province of Naples, within the Complesso Zeno on Via Trentola II, just minutes from the regional capital and the famous archaeological excavations. Each edition draws over 30,000 visitors, including families, breeders, veterinarians, and curious onlookers.

A journey into biodiversity

The fair's stands host a surprising range of species: reptiles and amphibians, snakes and lizards, turtles, tropical birds and birds of prey, small mammals, and insects. Alongside the animals, you will find aquariums and aquascaping tanks, rare and tropical plants, terrariums, and all the specialized equipment needed for those who wish to care for unconventional pets. The event brings together national and international exhibitors, making Ercolano the Italian capital of naturalistic exoticism for an entire weekend.

Much more than a trade show

Napoli Exotic is not just about buying and selling; it is primarily about education. Conferences, expert panels, and hands-on workshops guide visitors through a fascinating world, with a clear message regarding respect for nature and the responsible management of exotic animals. Great attention is paid to families and children, with activities designed to introduce them to the animal and plant world in a safe environment.

A bond with the territory

Organized in the municipality of Ercolano, the fair is now a benchmark event for the entire Campania region and Southern Italy. The Vesuvius city, world-famous for its UNESCO World Heritage archaeological site, adds an event to its calendar capable of attracting visitors from all over the South. The spring edition is complemented by a second event in the autumn, a sign of the event's constant growth.

Practical information

The fair is usually held over the weekend, with continuous opening hours from morning to evening. Admission is paid, and tickets can also be purchased online in advance.
