Napoli joined Atalanta on top of Serie A after beating second-bottom Venezia 1-0 at the Maradona Sunday.
The Partenopei and La Dea have 41 points, one more than Inter which has a game in hand.
The goal was scored in the 79th minute by Italy striker Giacomo Raspadori. Napoli struggle to impose themselves on the stragglers although Romelu Lukaku had a penalty saved.
Venezia are on 13 points, three above Monza and one behind Cagliari who lost 3-0 at home to Inter Saturday.
Atalanta got a late equaliser at the Olimpico to draw 1-1 with fourth-paced Lazio Saturday night.
