5244. Napoli - Panorama preso da San MartinoEntry/Object ID
1987.04.085Description
The image is an overview of San Martino with Vesuvius in the background. The mountain is separated from the city by the Gulf of Naples in which small boats and ships sit in the water. The metropolitan area is crowded with buildings from the foreground to middle ground and faintly in the background. The overview of the city makes it seem like Vesuvius looms over the helpless city waiting for the next eruption.Photograph Details
