Vite Vite Napoli Tour: eight photographers, one city, six days, 345 photographs. Guided by the Neapolitan photographer Pasquale Autiero, the Octopus project pays tribute to Naples by crossing it from end to end, without stopping, without breathing, letting its eight limbs explore the city as wildly as it welcomed them. From the fierce Mercato to the stadium where new mythologies are born, from the suddenly calmed seawall to the labyrinthine alleys, an eight-legged octopus with double eyes moves through the city with film, grain and the street as its only allies. Full of life, love and noise, the pictures are the teeming trace of an unexpected and dazzling encounter with a raw, proud and untameable city.
