SOTTONAPOLI " i miserabili  partenopei "

“ Le persone non devono guadagnarsi il diritto alla vita contribuendo allo sviluppo della società;le persone hanno diritto di vivere, punto.” ​S. Baron Cohen​​​​

 


(Under Naples) Just the signs of the recent past, left by thousands of Neapolitans who lived in the underground, have created the conditions in which those who struggle more with the life are forced to fall more and more in depth (Under Naples), not marginal , not criminals lives; lives that defy all the avalanche of clichés about crime and the city and all the definitions discounted on the misery of Naples we have heard in recent years. Denied lives, which also explain this act, because the most disparate and desperate  social behaviour comes out of desperation itself. Under Naples you can live and sleep, eat and go to the bathroom, make love and  grow babies in basements dark and isolated, removed even the social life of the alley. The shared destiny and space, for the poor, has always created, not only the need to commit a crime, but also bonds of solidarity that allowed the humanization of these borders. The “scantinatisti” (people living in basements) of Traiano  Quarter, or buried alive people in Scampia between garbage and excrement, are a sign that life is a luxury for some people, for the mother who lives alone with her son vendor water bottles at the stadium, for the entire families squatting places that are not even intended for the storage of goods, no water, no light, no services. For this reason, to discover these hidden lives, this "underground Naples" which no tourist would like to visit it is important to make a photographic work to know the places of survival which still exist and denounce  by photos the inertia of institutions.

Napoli come la Parigi di Hugo, con i suoi “miserabili” che hanno perso oggi perfino l’umanità dei sepolti vivi delle cloache della capitale francese immaginati dal grande scrittore.​
