The present study explores the dynamics of gentrification and its connection with the phenomenon of touristification. The analysis focuses on the case of the city of Naples, which in recent years has experienced a significant increase in tourist flows. After presenting the theoretical frameworks of gentrification and touristification, examining their origins, dimensions, and socio-economic and cultural implications, a research strategy was adopted that emphasizes the use of digital and digitized geographic and territorial sources. Through high-resolution spatial analysis, the results highlight both direct and indirect relationships between touristification and gentrification.
