Unfortunately, no. We will not be discussing one of man's greatest creations: the trifecta of ice cream. But we will be discussing something just as sweet!

A neapolitan chord is a major chord built off of the flat supertonic scale degree.

In analysis, the Neapolitan chord is identified as N. If in first inversion, which it commonly is, the Neapolitan is sometimes referred to as a "Neapolitan sixth chord." and will be notated as N6. When listening for it, you will hear the solfege of the chord as "ra, ti , do."

When constructing a neapolitan chord in a Major key, the supertonic will be flat, and the 6th scale degree will also need to be flat. In Minor, since the 6th scale degree is already flat by nature, only the supertonic will need to be lowered. When putting the chord into a keyboard style (in a major key), the 4th scale degree is most often doubled because it is the only non-chromatic chord tone.

The neapolitan chord serves as a secondary leading-tone chord. It works as a pseudo-modal mixture.

The chord is often found in 2nd inversion and resolves most frequently to the dominant. As you can see in this example, the Neapolitan is in second inversion and resolves to a dominant 7th chord.

The link below supplies various examples of the Neapolitan chord in action! In the third example, you can really tell how the chord pops out of the texture of the music and supplies a mode-mixture feel. It just adds a little something extra!
