Napoli street scenes   16 Nov 2024 Napoli street scenes    16 Nov 2024   Napoli    S - M - L
 
 
 
 
 

This set of photos was taken while wandering our neighborhood. Centro storico Napoli has a lot of small flats and little public space so life is lived on the street. Buildings are close so there is little privacy. Neighbors hear your conversations. People talk a lot and many at full volume. It is life in a Ferrante novel.

Most of the photos were taken on one street, about a block from our flat. This street is sometimes called Spaccanapoli, which means to split Napoli, but on the map it can be labeled many ways, such as via Benedetto Croce, via Domenico Capitelli, via Maddaloni, and via San Biago deli Librei.

 
 
 
 
Repairs and discoveries  
 
Below the street you can see an archeological dig taking place. Above you can see a fellow on a crane scraping the crumbling walls of an old building. I think the building being worked on will likely end up looking like the pretty yellow one on the left.
