N.065 - L’aria è ’ddoce

By the sea, the air is fresh... ’ddoce. In Naples, when you’re bored, you step outside for a walk, look at the sea, and that’s enough. Luca Santella’s illustration captures a moment of everyday life, revealing its lightness and sweetness: surrendering to the view of the gulf dominated by Vesuvius, and feeling fulfilled, as if held in the embrace of someone you love. Two people on a scooter look out over the gulf. The sky fades in shades of blue and pink, suggesting late afternoon. The calm sea reflects a deep blue, while in the distance rooftops and the dark silhouettes of mountains and Vesuvius stand out.
