Napoli, 3

Football is sacred and Maradona is its prophet. In Naples they think so. It may seem excessive and paradoxical in the eyes of a foreigner, but the Neapolitans have made football an unconscious, almost surreal expedient, to escape the grip of an existence marked by difficulties. "Naples, 3" tells the riot of joy and colors on the occasion of the third Scudetto of Naples arrived this year at the end of a triumphal season and that has seen an entire city turned into light blue, in an atmosphere in which the sacred is no longer distinguished from the profane. Because Naples is also this.

Andrea Guarneri was born in Palermo in 1968; doctor since 1992, he learned to use the camera before the razor, thanks to his father, his first teacher. In 2012 he won the 3rd prize at the National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest. Since 2017 he has been working on a long-term project, "Human Palermo", on the identity of Palermo, his hometown. Honorable Mention IPA 2020 with the reportage "Human Palermo", Silver Winner TIFA People/Lifestyle category 2020, and Gold Winner MIFA people/Lifestyle category 2021 with the same project.
