In a series of page-filling photographs as vividly hued as paintings, this book celebrates Naples as an old-world city that has never perished; despite its proximity to Mount Vesuvius, Naples remains playful, contradictory, challenging, and with a complexity strangers often cannot decipher, notes Peter Cadera, who also selected the music here. The four audio discs—Original Voices, Canzoni, The Sixties, and Past and Present—take us from Enrico Caruso singing "O Sole Mio" to Antonello Rondi's "Funiculi Funiculà," from Carla Boni and "Acquerello Napoletano" to 99 Posse's "Napoli." This large-format album is an exploration in sight and sound, in which the page-filling photographs offer an evocative visual experience, while the superb recordings capture the atmosphere, energy, and spirit of the subject.
