history | Question: Italy, Naples, Via Chiatamone, circa 1940s

I'm aware that the ancient caves in the Via Chiatamone in Naples are now mostly used as small business units by shops, cafes, and garages, but can anyone tell me about supposedly scandalous behaviour, by local Neapolitans, that went on in the area circa the 1940-50s? I'm assuming some form of sexual behaviour, and I'm assuming specifically male homosexuality, but I'd be interested if anyone knows the local history. /longshot
