Les enfants du Vésuve
A football story for French football revue Les cahiers du football. Situations, portraits, food, stadiums. Football in Naples is not just about Napoli and Maradona. From the city centre to the outskirts, we set out to discover the Neapolitan calcio, in all its forms, with its many disciples.
“For a long time, there were only fields and fruit trees here – cherry and apricot trees.” Simone Palumbo, a young executive, is a fan of SSC Naples, the “Napoli”, like almost all Neapolitans. He lives in the working-class district of Fuorigrotta, where the San Paolo, Napoli’s stadium, is a ten-minute walk from his home – a luxury. That day we found him in the Vomero district, where the atmosphere was quite different. Central and cosmopolitan, the Vomero is home to another little-known stadium that was Napoli’s home before they moved to the San Paolo in 1959: the Arturo-Collana stadium. Hind Boukhatem
