I have been working on editing this Wiki article about Naples (you can see a paragraphs below), and found multiple mistakes in historical facts and credibility of the sources. First of all, according to the Clark's book "European Cities and Towns, 400-2000", Naples had become Europe's 2nd largest city in the beginning-mid of the 16th century, and had around 275,000 inhabitants (Clark 112). Second, by the 17th century, Naples was suffering from plague epidemics and economic decline due to a foreign competition. By 1656, Naples had already recovered from the bubonic plague and had around 215,000 inhabitants (Clark 119). Third, a revolution was led by two people, not one. Both,Masaniello and Giulio Genoino (Villari 901 - 957), were leaders in Neapolitan Republic Revolution 1647. Lastly, Bernardino Telesio (1509 - 1588) and Giordano Bruno (1548 - 1600) were both the 16th century philosophers (Biagioni 145-171). I used three reliable sources for editing. First one is Clark's book "European Cities and Towns", 400 - 2000. Second is an article written by Villari "Naples 1647. Giulio Genoino from Government to exile", and last one is a book written by Biagioni "The radical reformation and the making of Modern Europe: a lasting heritage".

"By the 17th century, Naples had become Europe's 2nd-largest city – second only to Paris – and the largest European Mediterranean city, with around 250,000 inhabitants.[54] The city was a major cultural centre during the Baroque era, being home to artists such as Caravaggio, Salvator Rosa and Bernini, philosophers such as Bernardino Telesio, Giordano Bruno, Tommaso Campanella and Giambattista Vico, and writers such as Giambattista Marino. A revolution led by the local fisherman Masaniello saw the creation of a brief independent Neapolitan Republic in 1647, though this lasted only a few months before Spanish rule was reasserted.[52] In 1656, an outbreak of bubonic plague killed about half of Naples' 300,000 inhabitants.[55][unreliable source?]"
