Napoli insider

    Elena Raceala, Romania

Burdened with the highest population density in European cities, Napoli is an interesting, crowded, disturbing, contrasting city. A fascinating human theater, a magical place with animation, vitality. Walking down the narrow and dark streets, I was feeling alive in all this agitation, cheerful, benevolent, melodramatic people who talk loudly and tell you the story of their lives.
I tried to restore the atmosphere of those few November days and for 7 days I was an insider and this is the Naples seen through my eyes. I did some street portraits.. fascinating people, unwritten stories.
