“The Passion of Vesuvio” is an abstract representation of this volcano that characterizes the city of Naples and its inhabitants. This giant is set in the midst of a broad and fertile plain, quiet, seemingly inert, the Vesuvius is a presence for the Neapolitans, fair, familiar, almost friendly. With this color I wanted to capture the warmth with which it is represented the people of Naples and at the same time the danger that this could be huge volcano, but at the same time that everyone lives the life relished coming up to the apex without being afraid of the risk. The volcano is repeated several times in the representation because it is seen in a different way “different faces” from the people.
