Machine translation, like
DeepL or
Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 3,071 articles in the

Barra is an eastern
quarter of
Naples, southern Italy, with a population of some 40,000 inhabitants (38,103 in the 2001 census.)
Barra occupies the easternmost section of the Naples comune's territory, ranging from the sea to the
Vesuvio's slopes, bounding with
Poggioreale.
The area has suffered much the same fate of urban decay as the rest of the eastern periphery of Naples, a fate that includes drugs and entrenched organized crime. Historically, it was one of the Vesuvian areas built up under the
Bourbons in the 18th century and still displays some structures from that period that have been restored and incorporated into the tourist/cultural itinerary of "Vesuvian Villas". The area was heavily bombed in
World War II.
