Vapor and Strata. Environmental Histories of Naples

How does a city's history change when we look at it through its environment? Reading Naples means tracing the relationships that connect volcanic basins, the sea, caves, hills, and exposed tuff to the forms the city has taken over time. An evolution shaped by small and large projects, architectures, actions, and imaginaries that stratify and constantly negotiate with Naples' porous nature, revealing how the environment has contributed to shaping the city's cultural and urban history while continuing to generate new practices of belonging and resistance.
