Brett Llloyd shares an exclusive preview of his latest publication Napoli, Napoli, Napoli ❤️ ➡️
Indeed, flicking through the pages of Lloyd’s 180-page tome, it’s that timelessness that feels most striking. A young man in Speedos stands to attention next to a decaying ancient column; an older, fleshier figure wears leaves tucked behind his ears like a 21st-century Bacchus; packs of youths run wild, jumping out of the windows of an ancient pleasure palace and diving straight into the sea.
It’s little surprise, then, that the faded grandeur of Naples proved to be so intoxicating. “It’s not a wealthy city, so there isn’t a lot of financial support to restore these buildings, but in a way that makes it more beautiful,” he says. “The kids are climbing up the facades of Emperor Nero’s holiday home and hacking bits off in the process, but at least they’re constantly interacting with these ancient, dead buildings, and keeping them alive in a way.
For while Lloyd touches on some more highfalutin references for the book’s spirit, from Goethe’s famoustravel diaries to the work of the 19th-century Neapolitan artist Vincenzo Gemito, he’s keen to emphasise that it’s about the untameable spirit of joy that courses through the city – especially despite some of the harsher realities of life in southern Italy – more than anything else. “I don’t want to intellectualise it too much,” says Lloyd.
