The most beautiful city in the universe
“I am leaving. I shall not forget Via Toledo, nor any other of the parts of Naples; to my eyes this city has no equal and is the most beautiful city in the universe." Stendhal, Rome Naples et Florence (1817)
Modern-day civil resistance in a democratic society. A loose grouping of citizens, voluntary associations and religious organisations united in an attempt to halt the onslaught of social degradation and the culture of organised crime. Stories from the front line in Naples.
To be followed by a viewing of the documentary (R)Esistenza directed by Francesco Cavaliere.
