Mario Amura's exhibition, between light and spectacle, on the Gulf of Naples.

The artistic project was born from the work of Mario Amura, photographer and author of cinematographic images presented at important international festivals. For over fourteen years the artist observes and photographs from Monte Faito the explosion of lights that illuminates the Gulf of Naples during the great fireworks displays.
