'IL MARE BAGNA NAPOLI' WHERE HISTORY, STRUGGLES, AMBITIONS AND SHIPWRECKS CONVERGE The title of the exhibition rereads, in a positive light, Anna Maria Ortese's famous novel. Still, from the alleys of rione Sanità where the artist was born and still lives, the sea of Mergellina [a coastal district of the city of Naples] cannot be seen, its light breeze does not carry there. The boys' gaze does not rest on the horizon line, but instead on the peeling walls of buildings. Paolo La Motta, who knows her desires and hopes well, places them on boat moving on a gray sea, the boys intently rowing to reach their own personal goals. Il mare bagna Napoli.
