Luciano De Crescenzo Photographs of Bellavista's Naples

From Raffaele Viviani’s poem “o’ puveriell”: Being a church beggar is a serious trade that requires the right appearance. If you put a plump person there, he will go to bed hungry every evening.

The photograph was taken by Luciano De Crescenzo, whose great irony allowed him to find telling details even in everyday scenes. Here, the umbrella shielding the man from the sun enabled him to play outside the church of Gesù Nuovo.
