N.039 - Beginning of a great adventure

The black-and-white illustration presents a complex “Neapolitan equation” against a dark background. Iconic symbols of Naples are drawn in white lines, including Vesuvius, a coffee pot, a pizza, and a football. Faces that evoke historical or cultural figures alternate with more raw symbols such as a knuckle-duster and a gun, balanced by elements linked to the sea, such as kayaks and canoes. Lucio Casillo’s equation represents Naples, its beauty and its harshness, its history and its legends, the everyday and the extraordinary.
