The unbreakable bond between Naples, SSC Napoli and Argentina Ciro Pipoli recounts this in the first chapter of The Neapolitan Tales

An exciting and profound journey, revealing — through a collection of evocative images and touching testimonies gathered in Argentina — the unbreakable bond that links Naples and Buenos Aires. Leading us is photographer Ciro Pipoli, the author of Napoli Sospesa, the first volume of the series The Neapolitan Tales. A photobook that transcends mere documentation to weave together family stories full of affection, memories that withstand time, and deeply shared cultural identities.

Pipoli, with his unique sensitivity, manages to deliver an authentic and vivid portrait of the Neapolitan diaspora, showing how its roots remain incredibly alive and vibrant on the other side of the ocean. Each photograph is a window into a world of emotions — faces that tell of sacrifices and hopes, traditions passed down from generation to generation despite geographic distance. The collected testimonies further enrich the visual narrative, offering an intimate snapshot of the lives of those who, although far from their homeland, continue to keep the flame of Neapolitan identity burning.

The Neapolitan Tales is available for pre-order on the nss edicola website.

And in the relationship between Naples and Argentina, there is also the figure of Diego Armando Maradona, the greatest trait d’union between the two peoples. A figure loved and venerated for his on-field successes that represented a social redemption. Napoli Sospesa is not only a tribute to a people's resilience, but also a celebration of the strength of cultural and family ties that transcend borders and oceans. It is a work that invites reflection on the nature of identity and the importance of one's roots, demonstrating how memory and belonging can remain intact and vibrant, even when one is suspended between two worlds.
