Original Message Naples on Thursday announced it was setting up a 70-million-euro ($91-million) gift card system -- the "Napo" -- which will function as a local currency aimed at boosting small businesses.
"Napos" will be given to shopkeepers, tourists and residents who pay their taxes, entitling bearers to a 10-percent d-i-s-c-o-u-n-t for every 10 euros spent.
"The Napo is a gesture of love for our city," Marco Esposito, a local official in charge of economic issues, told AFP in a phone interview.
He said he hoped the system would "shake up an otherwise feeble economy."
Prototypes for the new 1, 2, 5 and 10 "Napo" banknotes have been printed with images of the most picturesque sights of the southern Italian city.
