Luciano De Crescenzo Photographs of Bellavista's Naples

The “tarallaro”, or taralli seller, was one of the traditional figures who filled the streets of Naples. This beautiful photograph by Luciano De Crescenzo captures Fortunato, a representative of this tradition, who transported his “creations”, the taralli, in a small cart bearing the ironic sign “the Fortunato business is closed on Mondays”. Also portrayed in Pino Daniele’s song “Fortunato”, he belongs to the city’s characteristic cast of figures.
