Ciao Napoli. My Darling — Cover

Ciao Napoli. My Darling

"Ciao Napoli, my darling" is a melancholic tribute to a Naples that longs to keep dreaming. Dedicated to my grandparents and to all who emigrate in search of their own "America," the project draws inspiration from vintage photos and Totò, an icon of elegance and simplicity. Each look evokes traditions of a bygone era with childlike lightness, telling the painful nostalgia of leaving with a suitcase full of dreams—a farewell that becomes both poison and remedy.
