The “Rione Sanità” was built in the XVI century, in a quarry that had been used as a burial place during the Greek-Roman period.Nowdays a plague has fell on the neighborhood:social neglect.The Rione,born as a place of residence for the noble and aristocratic families, has become one of the poorest in Naples.The pauperization of “Rione Sanità” was caused by the building of “ Sanità’s Bridge”. The bridge, built between 1806 and 1809, was created to link the Capodimonte Royal Palace to the rest of the city. On one side the built of the bridge excluded the neighborhood from the town, by creating a kind of ghetto into city’s heart. On the other side, it allowed the neighborhood to preserve its identity. Among the inhabitants of “Rione Sanità” has grown a strong sense of belonging scratched only on the surface by the modernity.In spite of different problems like lack of schools, Camorra struggles and unemployment ,the neighborhood welcomes a huge humanity with different geographical origins and different personal histories.My project focuses on neighborhood’s life in its intimate and sweet fold.The black and white features of a perennially painful humanity come out of the shadow showing intense relationships of love, unexpected,sometimes delicate.
