Mount Vesuvius looms in the distance, infusing the Italian city of Naples with an electric charge just below the surface. Perhaps it is for this closeness that the Neapolitan people have an indescribable taste that spreads in all corners of their lives, from cooking to sport. And the waters of the Mediterranean balance the scales with a fascinating bathing spirit. The historic city has become synonymous with creative production, such as Paolo Sorrentino's film The Hand of God and Elena Ferrante's beloved Neapolitan Novelle. Through the pages of Napoli Amore, Cesare Cunaccia - frequent collaborator of Assouline - guides the reader on an unforgettable journey through this unique destination. The Neapolitan identity is so formidable that Naples is often considered distinct from Italy. This dynamic character, lived in the streets, crafts and Mediterranean spirit, is on full display in Napoli Amore. In the pages of this book, the images of iconic photographers (Herbert List, Mimmo Jodice, Ferdinando Scianna) dialogue with those of more contemporary photographers (Sam Gregg, Ciro Pipoli, Brett Lloyd) to paint a portrait of Naples layered like a sfogliatella and compelling like a Caravaggio.
