This book provides an interdisciplinary introduction to the
Neapolitan Baroque, through original and in-depth interpretations
of pivotal masterpieces of Neapolitan art, literature, philosophy,
theater. The book also presents the city of Naples as a cultural
space in which the body functions as a visual, literary, and urban
metaphor. By examining the works of Giordano Bruno, Caravaggio,
Giambattista Basile, Silvio Fiorillo and Raimondo di Sangro,
Principe di San Severo, the essays comprising this volume show the
contribution of these world renowned figures to the Baroque imagery
of Naples, but also highlight the impact the city had on their
work. Finally, the book stirs reflection on the enduring presence
and current revival of the Neapolitan Baroque, by looking at
contemporary culture and the cinematic adaptation of baroque works,
such as Matteo Garrone's Tale of Tales.
