N.048 - Napoli Underground

From the surface to its hidden depths, Naples Underground takes us on a journey through layers of history and mystery. In Ciaran Murphy’s illustration, the idea of a city beneath the city comes to life. While at street level, life moves at a fast, modern pace, below the catacombs open onto an ancient enigma, preserving the secrets of a very old city. Deeper still, the Bourbon Tunnel stands as a crystallized trace of wartime, a reminder of a Naples that has always adapted, even in its most difficult moments.
