Casalnuovo di Napoli (Italian: [kaˌzalˈnwɔːvo di ˈnaːpoli, kaˌsal-]; Neapolitan: Casalnuovo 'e Napule) is an Italian comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Naples in the Italian region of Campania, located about 13 kilometres (8 miles) northeast of Naples.
The municipality of Casalnuovo di Napoli contains the frazioni (hamlets) of: Casarea, Tavernanova, Licignano and Talona.
Casalnuovo di Napoli borders the following municipalities: Acerra, Afragola, Casoria, Pollena Trocchia, Pomigliano d'Arco, Sant'Anastasia, Volla, Somma Vesuviana .
The municipal capital stands on the ruins of Archora, one of the villages that had given rise to the neighboring city of Afragola, and also includes the suppressed municipality of Licignano di Napoli, corresponding to the Roman settlement of Licinianum. It also includes the towns of Tavernanova and Casarea, acquired in 1929 by spin-off from the municipalities of Pomigliano d'Arco and Afragola. From an ecclesiastical point of view, instead, the parishes are divided between the archdiocese of Naples (city centre and Casarea fraction), the diocese of Acerra (Licignano and Talona fraction) and the diocese of Nola (Tavernanova fraction).
