$NAPLES, ITALY - 21 OCTOBER 2020: Light is seen here diffracted inside the the Apple Developer Academy in Naples, Italy, on October 21st 2020.<br /> <br /> In the past few years Naples been fostering a growing community of tech start-ups and app creators. What has really changed the game for Naples' tech scene is Apple's recent arrival in the city. In 2015, Apple opened its Developer Acamdy in Naples, in conjunction with University of Naples Federico II, where students spend a year training to be developers, coders, app creators and start-up entrepreneurs. <br /> <br /> And where Apple goes, others follow. In 2018, networking giant Cisco opened its own networking academy in Naples.<br /> <br /> The hope is it will change not just Naples' reputation, but also its fortunes and so reverse a brain drain that's seen many of the city's young graduates leave to find jobs in the more prosperous north of Italy, or even abroad.
