The illustration captures a glimpse of everyday life in a typical Neapolitan alley, where two children are playing football. One juggles the ball enthusiastically while the other watches. The scene is animated by the ethereal and imposing presence of a legendary football figure and symbol of the city: Diego Maradona, depicted in what has become the most famous mural in Naples’ historic center, in the square that now bears his name. The dominant colors are the warm yellow and orange of the lights, the blue of the sky and the children’s shirts, the green of the vegetation, and the brown tones of the surrounding architecture.
