33-L'ANN' E CRIST', of Scudetto, men and gods The nss photo book about Napoli's second and third Scudettos

33 years correspond to a whole generation. A generation of Neapolitans who have grown up with the myth of the sublimation of the most distant urban dream. A dream for some that was only hinted at and never really lived, which perhaps made it even more mystical. On the other hand, misticism in Naples has always been something to be taken very seriously: the line between the sacred and the profane is not blurred, it is completely absent in the city that has erected as its idol and God a number 10 that has come from afar to be something that football and the city had never seen. 

"33-L'ANN' E CRIST'" is the new nss book dedicated to Napoli's second and third Scudetto, between which 33 years have passed. Through the shots of nine photographers in the book, the joy and anticipation, the mystique and iconography that links the city to football is recounted. The book will be officially presented on 12 July from 6 to 9.30 p.m., with an event and talk hosted by Spazi Volta, Via Vincenzo Bellini 30 in Naples. To celebrate the passion for football, a limited edition J'Adore Napoli football shirt will also be presented for the occasion.  

 

Diego Armando Maradona died three years before Napoli won its third Scudetto, a stadium was named after him, the one in which Napoli gave that unfortunate generation the greatest dream of all.33 years later. "The world was made by men, Naples was made by God. The Scudetto in Naples is the transformation of men into Gods".
