If you look at the picture below, you'll get some idea of the scale of the picture above – ie huge.
Street art like this is another of the factors that makes Naples a constantly surprising city. This gorgeous example featuring a couple embracing is actually painted on the back of a lift that can take you down from the top of the Sanita bridge into the heart of this most Neapolitan part of Naples.
The large wall (above) covered in a mysterious (to me anyway) painting is also in Sanita. It seems to include Mary and Jesus and some sort of exorcism/rebirth. Whatever it is, it stops you in your tracks.
As does the gargantuan double portrait (below), again in Sanita.
My favourite so far, though, is another double-header (below), dominating a street in the Universita area.
None of these works are slapdash quickies – they've obviously taken a lot of planning and a lot of hard work. And that's why they give so much pleasure to so many – day after day.
