Football is sacred and Maradona is its prophet. In Naples that's what they think. It may seem excessive and paradoxical seen by a foreigner, but the Neapolitans made football an unconscious, almost surreal expedient, to escape the grip of an existence marked by difficulties. "Naples, 3" tells the riot of joy and colors on the occasion of the third Serie A title of Napoli arrived this year at the end of a triumphal season and that has seen an entire city turning into light blue, in an atmosphere in which the sacred is no longer distinguished from the profane. Because Naples is also this.
