Napoli Amore

Assouline's coffee table book "Napoli Amore" takes readers on an unforgettable journey through this unique destination. By the hand of author Cesare Cunaccia, an intimate story of discovery is outlined, designed with an appetizing mix of dynamic images, some provided by local photographers. 

Mount Vesuvius looms in the distance, imbuing the Italian city of Naples with an electric charge just below the surface. Perhaps this proximity is why the Neapolitans have an indescribable gusto that seeps into every corner of their lives, from cuisine to sports. And the waters of the Mediterranean balance the scales with a charming seaside spirit. The historic city has become synonymous with creative output such as Paolo Sorrentino's film The Hand of God and Elena Ferrante's beloved Neapolitan novels. In the pages of Napoli Amore, Cesare Cunaccia, a regular contributor to Assouline, takes the reader on an unforgettable journey through this unique destination.

The Neapolitan identity is so formidable that Naples is often considered something other than Italy. This dynamic character, experienced in its streets, craftsmanship and Mediterranean spirit, is on full display in Napoli Amore. The pages of this book feature images by iconic photographers (Herbert List, Mimmo Jodice, Ferdinando Scianna) in conversation with those of more contemporary photographers (Sam Gregg, Ciro Pipoli, Brett Lloyd) to paint a portrait of Naples as layered as a sphogliatella and as compelling as a Caravaggio.
