Naples has a reputation as a trashy, messy, kind of crazy part of Italy. Guilty. And what goes well with an undercurrent of mayhem? Graffiti. Mix it all up and you have a city that could be a bit of a back lot for a New York in the 1980s movie production.
Classic graffiti medium, a Metro train.
Two bigwigs of Naples, patron saint San Gennaro (Saint Januarius) and subversive Renaissance artist Caravaggio. Just kicking it, reading the papers. A more recent art world celeb, Jean-Michelle Basquiat, parodying for Starbucks. Graffiti, have fun with it.
The real patron saint of the city, football star and god, Diego Maradona. Shrines to him are everywhere.
More fun with art parody. Vermeer, Bitches and getting things done, magic. Michael Jackson as Marilyn Monroe in Andy Warhol's iconic portrait. Sweet.
No matter what alley you duck down, the graffiti is there to greet you.
