The Napolitaner N.16 - La Tombola

The illustration presents the tradition of Neapolitan tombola, with numbers arranged dynamically across the composition. The dominant colors are vivid red, deep violet, and a lighter one, with touches of pure white adding brightness and clarity to the elements. The scene is enriched by small circular and star-shaped details that add movement. A classic holiday game, deeply connected to the Smorfia napoletana, which assigns symbolic meanings to each number. In Raffaele Sabella’s cover, a piece of Neapolitan culture and tradition that has accompanied generations all the way to the New Year.
