La Tombola Napoletana by New Arcobaleno

History of Neapolitan Tombola – By V. Notaro

The history of Neapolitan Tombola has very ancient origins, from the rudimentary lotteries held by the Romans during the Saturnalia, through the medieval fortune exchanges, extractions organized by the powerful with the aim of resolving periods of severe crisis. At the beginning of the 16th century, the bbonafficiata (beneficiated) took root in Napoli, a lottery held to give dowries to girls who otherwise would not have been able to marry. However, gambling was also widespread in less noble forms and constituted both a problem and an opportunity for rulers.
