Naples is always a shock, flaunting beauty and squalor like nowhere
else. It is the only city in Europe whose ancient past still lives
in its irrepressible people. In 1503, Naples was the Mediterranean
capital of Spain's world empire and the base for the Christian
struggle with Islam. It was a European metropolis matched only by
Paris and Istanbul, an extraordinary concentration of military
power, lavish consumption, poverty and desperation. It was to
Naples in 1606 that Michelangelo Merisi fled after a fatal street
fight, and there released a great age in European art - until
everything erupted in a revolt by the dispossessed, and the people
of an occupied city brought Europe into the modern world. Ranging
across nearly three thousand years of Neapolitan life and art, from
the first Greek landings in Italy to the author's own, less
auspicious, arrival thirty-something years ago, Street Fight in
Naples brings vividly to life the tumultuous and, at times, tragic
history of Naples.
