Naples is a chaotic, messy masterpiece of a city, one brimming with creativity where every wall, archway, door, and skyscraper is a canvas for creative expression. The city itself is a manifestation of Neapolitan inspiration.
Like this street dedicated to Italian actor, comedian, writer, and singer Totò.
The street is just like in any other bustling southern Italian city except covered in masterpieces.
In Naples, the driving is more than a bit aggressive, but in between almost getting run over I managed to snap some shots of the murals here.
The walls not covered by murals are covered in colorful graffiti like this student advisement center.
A stroll down a few more blocks reveals modern street art that perfectly embodies this city.
I'm not sure if this was intentionally created as art or just became a collective creative outlet but it sure is intriguing.
Heading toward Forcella right outside the San Giorgio Maggiore church is the giant mural of San Gennaro, patron saint of Naples.
Created by Neapolitan artist Jorit, he sports the signature tribal face paint of the artist symbolizing the interconnectedness of all humans, the human tribe.
It's a message that more of us need to remember and nowhere is Jorit's message made clearer than in the Directional Center of Naples.
