Naples filled me to the brim in all the most satisfying and stimulating ways. My mind is still awhirl a week after having left that buzzing, frenetic place.
One of the ways I was most captivated was from the visual stimulation. Every step, every corner turned locked my eye onto a bit of bold graphic, something subtle or outrageous, provocative or beautiful, both crude and refined. BAM! Grab me.
“Graffiti”. “Street Art”. “Urban Graphics”. Whatever you want to call it, Naples yields an eyeful for one that is willing to see. One day we happened into a particular alley that seemed to be a magnet for the boldest pieces. I swoon at the rawness, the power, the imagination, the freshness.
Take a look. BAM, to you, too!
