Naples: The History

Himself - Vulcanologist:
The 1631 eruption: it starts to become clear that the volcano was about to erupt the evening before at the Torre del Greco, where the archbishop of Naples, Boncompagni, was about to have treatment at the spa with water, if I remember well. The evening the earth trembles and he quickly runs away from there and arrives in Naples. The next day, the next morning, the volcano erupts.

Himself - Art Historian:
All this is Naples, the Naples of the 16th century, but maybe for some it is, unfortunately, also today's Naples, the Naples made of light and shade, of contrasts, of contradictions. And Caravaggio, in painting, translates this conception of reality, the reality of man, the existential reality of man that is made up of contrasts, of contradictions, of lacerations, of light and shade.
