Artisans of Naples

(ongoing project)

Naples has long been home to generations of skilled artisans whose workshops line its ancient alleyways. From cobblers and tailors to woodworkers, luthiers, and presepe (nativity scene) makers, these masters have shaped the city's soul through their labor and creativity. However, in recent years, the tidal wave of mass tourism has transformed the city’s economic and cultural landscape.

This project is both a visual archive and a cultural statement, urging viewers to look beyond the surface of Naples and see the vanishing world of craft that still exists just beneath the noise of tourism. It is a tribute to human skill, memory, and the fragile beauty of what remains.
