The series welcomes books written in English and in Italian.

Nessun popolo sulla terra ha mai tanto sofferto quanto il popolo napoletano. Soffre la fame e la schiavit da venti secoli, e non si lamenta. Non maledice nessuno, non odia nessuno: neppure la miseria. Cristo era napoletano.

Malaparte
( Kaputt , 1944)

Napule nu sole amaro
Napule addore e' mare
Napule na' carta sporca e nisciuno
se ne importa e
ognuno aspetta a' sciorta
Napule na' camminata
int' e viche miezo all'ate
Napule tutto nu suonno e a' sape tutti o ' mutino ma
nun sanno a ' verit
Napule mille culture ...

Pino Daniele, Napule
