Spacca Napoli I, a photo from Naples, Campania

Photographer's Note

"See Naples and die". Do not wish ill to anyone, you must instruct Naples, located on the terraces at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, the Bay of Naples, part of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Each of the districts of Naples is different, and many of them are for you the exact opposite. The most striking is the district Spacca Napoli (Naples literally breaking) - that area of the city adjacent to the long two-kilometer long broad street of Naples divides into two parts (from east to west). On both sides of the thoroughfare, in a maze of houses, streets, stairs, and lively squares, live pure-bred Neapolitans - the descendants of the ancient lower strata of society, those who survived the winds of history and further attacks Vesuvius.

This is a scan from negative.

Good evening Jozef,
relatively old photo, but this scene on the streets of Napoli, is typical: ladies pool chairs out to street and exchange Spaghetti recipes...
Nice details, as depth and light well collected.

Witaj Józef,
piękna i nastrojowa uliczka.Wyglądem i atmosferą przypomina te,które widziałem w Dubrowniku.Wąskie,strome,gdzie często widzimy suszące sie pranie.Musze przyznać,ze bardzo lubie takie klimaty.Znakomicie uchwyciłeś piękno i atmosferę tego sródziemnomorskiego miasta.Znakomity kadr oraz bardzo dobra jakośc jak na skan.Poradzileś sobie równiez swietnie z trudnym światłem,gdzie kontrasty pomiedzy górnymi a dolnymi partiami zdjęcia sa bardzo duze.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie

Czesc,
fajna atmosfera spokoju w tym miejscu ale zaulek niezbyt piekny. Z Neapolu mam nieciekawe wspomnienia gdy dwaj motocyklisci probowali zerwac z pasa saszetke naszego wspolpodroznika.
Milego dnia.
Aleksander
