Architect Davide Vargas releases 50 new watercolors of Naples
Architect Davide Vargas has produced fifty new watercolors of Naples, following a series of one hundred drawings published a year ago. The drawings were originally accompanied by texts in the local pages of La Repubblica, each depicting a portion of the city—a church, a neighborhood, a street, or an unknown corner. Due to the lockdown, Vargas's practice shifted temporarily to drawing from memory, then expanded to locations outside Naples, including Caserta and Sicily. The new series continues the sentimental guide to the city.
