Hello everyone,
I wanted to share with you some photos from my September 2024 trip to Sorrento and Naples with my friend. It was my first foreign vacation, on the occasion of my 40th birthday, better late than never. I’ll just say that once I started, there was no stopping me.
I stopped being afraid and I still want more! 
Street art is one of the forms of support that helped me a lot in overcoming this fear, that’s how I ended up here.
What cities in Italy do you recommend for street art? 
Naples is filled with Maradona interventions?
Yes Stef,
Naples is unique in its obsession with Argentine soccer legend Diego Maradona. His face on every wall. Jerseys. Murals. Shrines. Nativity figurines. Songs.
If you want to understand a bit about Naples from just one piece of history, Maradona’s story is a perfect sample. His arrival at SSC Napoli, his performances, his impact on the city, and his lasting legacy—it goes beyond just being a great athlete.
Born south of Buenos Aires in Argentina in 1960, Diego Maradona began playing professionally at the age of 16. He was quickly recognized for his talent for passing, dribbling, ball control and ultimately scoring goals. He eventually joined FC Barcelona for a world record transfer fee, where he played from 1982 to 1984. He left Barcelona after just two seasons, joining SSC Napoli in 1984 for another world record transfer fee.
At Napoli, Maradona helped lead the team to its first Serie A title, and its second three years later. That was followed by a Coppa Italia win in 1987. Then the UEFA Cup title in 1989. He was Napoli’s top scorer in the 1987-88 season.
