"I am very happy," said Quagliarella. "This is what I wanted.
"Napoli has always been my dream. I have always been a Napoli supporter. And today I am very happy because the dream has come."
Napoli endured a disappointing campaign finishing 12th in the Serie A standings, with 12 wins collected in 38 games.
The club's General Director Pierpaolo Marino said: "I am proud that Quagliarella is to become a Napoli player.
"I don't want to make any comments, I'll leave this joy to the fans. I thank President Aurelio De Laurentiis for putting together the conditions to close this deal.
"Fabio's desire to come has been decisive. He preferred us to other more prestigious teams. This is a great honour for us.
"We will sign other players. It will be a good transfer campaign," Marino concluded.
