Street Art in Naples in the territory of the 8th Municipality

The subject of study is developed in multidisciplinary form. From the point of view of graphics analysis and expression, the languages and techniques of putting murals in the Neapolitan suburbs will be examined. The intent is to study: the relationship between surfaces and volumes; shape and the image displayed to highlight its geometric representation methodologies; the aesthetic languages used by street artists in relation to the poetics of urban regeneration. From the point of view of urban economics, it is particularly interesting to check the different impacts that street art is having in these realities (as for example, in New York or London, where the impacts also on the real estate market has long been verified), where urban regeneration processes find in this new form of graphic communication a mode of intervention in the pursuing of physical, social and economic sustainability, in alternative to the public administration intervention (still too inert). In this perspective the contribution analyzes what is happening in some western and eastern peripheral districts of Naples with particular reference to the Ponticelli and Scampia-Marianella districts (8th Municipality).
