Directed by Marco D'Amore
Presented by Boffi
Napoli is now one of Italy's most popular tourist destinations, igniting the imagination of visitors from around the world. Considered to be the capital of the south, it was for centuries, the second most populous city in Europe. To appreciate its mysteries actor/ Director Marco D’amore (the hugely popular star of the crime series Gomorrah) is our guide. It is a documentary melding history with myths, science with legend and truth with fiction. It proves a perfectly pitched approach in a place that lives and breathes superstition and folklore like no other European city. The warmth of Marco D’Amore as a curious, approachable guide allows the viewer to enter into intriguing stories and locations including a gigantic maze of three-thousand-year-old tunnels underneath the city. The ancient past is palpable, vital, and present in every moment in Napoli, and this documentary manages to capture something truly elusive. - Paolo Rotondo
Official Selection / Turin Film Festival 2022
A beautiful documentary. - Wired
D'Amore becomes a tourist and spiritual guide in a city that lives under the sun and breathes in the shadow of legends and myths that make it so unique, so particular, so magical. - Elisia Torsiello.MoviePlayer.it
