Cosetta Seno

Mediterranean Spaces and Places will examine the changes in the narrative description of the city of Naples. It will focus on the dichotomy between the classic portrait of the city, often depicted as one of the most beautiful places in the world and on the representation of its poverty within the urban spaces devoted to the indigents. In opposition to the city’s natural beauty, the narration of such spaces constitutes an effective and innovative way to understand not only the history of Naples within the Italian geopolitical context but also the story of the city itself, with its many legends, contradictions, and endless fascination.
