Naples

Static map displayed.
On the afternoons of March 20 and 21, 2022, the same days as our visits to Pompei and Ercolano, my Mom and I walked the streets of Naples: crowded sidewalks, tall apartment blocks hung with laundry, and a street shrine to the Madonna.

Apartment blocks with balconies, on a street lined with parked cars.
A narrow cobbled street under a cloudy sky, with a yellow sign for a parking garage and laundry hanging from the balconies on the left, parked cars on both sides, and a woman in a magenta knit hat walking with a blue cane toward red apartment blocks and a round tower whose dark stone base is topped by red plastered floors of flats.
A cobbled street with laundry on the balconies and a round tower at the end.
A Neapolitan street shrine: a painting of the Madonna and Child in a marble frame, lit inside a glass-and-metal shelter on a red wall, above a small tiled niche holding photographs of people and small figures of saints, a marble shelf with a red candle and an empty frame, and pots of yellow artificial lilies and palms on the floor.
