NEAPOLITAN TOMBOLA ILLUSTRATED BY VINCENZO NOTARO A three-centuries-old version of bingo, born in the sprawling, boisterous southern Italian city. It's a cryptic game of luck with underground roots of being run by women and often hosted by members of Naples' non-binary "third gender," the femminielli. Today, the original Neapolitan version of tombola is played increasingly as a part of a folkloristic re-enactment for Italian tourists and Neapolitans from higher social classes.
