Via San Gregorio Armeno: The Street of the Cribs

0:00 / 0:20
  • The City Below: Naples is a hollow city, and this downhill walk reads the streets as the lid on an inverted city carved out of the tuff below, following the void from the ancient forum toward the sea.
  • The Straight Cut: One dead-straight street splits the old city of Naples in half, tracing a Greek surveyor's line roughly two thousand years old under two millennia of piled-up Baroque, superstition, and street life.
