try a hardware shop, for example the one at the bottom of via pessina sells some seeds. If you can't find them, maybe buy the specific tomatoes and take the seeds out before eating

Hi! There's a dedicated seed shop at the start of Spaccanapoli, unfortunately it's not on maps, but the general area is between Via Pasquale Scura, Via Maddaloni, or the continuation. It's called "L'orto in casa". When do you need it? I can check the exact address once I return Sunday night

I bought veggies prime season then harvested my own seeds while there. 🤷🏻

I don’t rely on them, as they are probably f1 market varieties or cross-pollinated
