Luciano De Crescenzo Photographs of Bellavista's Naples

Epicurus, quoted several times by De Crescenzo, said that “we should not fear death, because when we exist, death is not present, and when it is present, we no longer exist.” According to the writer, the city also has an Epicurean relationship with death, regarding it as a natural event. De Crescenzo, a symbol of Neapolitan culture, saw time as two-dimensional: it could be spent repetitively in length, or lived to the full in breadth, with all its risks.
