N.046 - Piennolo’s

A “bootleg Warhol,” created as a tribute to the artist who, thanks to Lucio Amelio, discovered Naples and dedicated to it one of his most iconic works, Vesuvius. The illustration draws on the famous Campbell’s Soup series and on Benjamin’s idea, reflected throughout Warhol’s work, that “in principle, a work of art has always been reproducible.” Here, the bland, anonymous soups are replaced by pomodorini del piennolo, a symbol of excellence in Neapolitan gastronomy. And as for reproducibility, in Naples, we’ve mastered that too.
