Napoli: Scudetto 33 Year Later: Photos from the Naples Quarters of the 3rd Scudetto celebration

By Fabio Carbone

‘Scusate il ritardo' (Sorry for the delay) is one of the slogans used by Napoli football fans to ironise about a Scudetto (Title) that Naples has been missing for 33 years.

And ‘Napoli: Scudetto 33 Year Later’ – with subtitle 'Sorry for the Delay' – is the title of this photostory, in more then 150 shots, made to celebrate the third Scudetto long awaited by Neapolitans living in Naples, and by those cheering from the rest of Italy and the rest of the world where they work, hope and love.

The photo story is a true itinerary through the neighbourhoods of Naples. There is no shortage of photos of Spaccanapoli, Via San Gregorio Armeno and other places of Naples' identity.
All of the photos, however, show the city's historical places in the third Scudetto. So an SSC Napoli flag or banner is always present in the photos.

And there is no lack of photographs taken in lesser-known places in Naples, but which are able to show all the deep love of this city for its football team.

For the tourist, as well as a guide when visiting the historic quarters of Naples, ‘Napoli: Scudetto 33 Year Later’ is a digital souvenir with which to live and relive the historic moment (the wait lasted 33 years!). A souvenir to participate, with the citizens of Naples and the team, in the excitement of having won such an important sports competition after having waited so long for it.

For those of you from Naples and its province, you can consider this digital book made up of photographs as a souvenir of the celebration for the third Scudetto to keep in your smartphone.
For those neapolitans who are hundreds or thousands of kilometres away from Naples, the photographic ebook is a way to strengthen the bond with their city, with their land, and to experience even more intensely this event that has been awaited for 33 years: celebrating Napoli's Scudetto.

A photo ebook, a guide, a digital souvenir, ‘Napoli: Scudetto 33 Year Later - Sorry for the Delay', to download to your smartphone, iPhone or other mobile device, from all online ebook stores.
In the ebook also the photos of the Scudetto party on June 4, 2023 from Piazza del Plebiscito and its surroundings.

Introduction

Scusate il ritardo (Sorry for the delay) is one of the slogans used by Napoli football fans to ironise about a Scudetto that Naples has been missing for 33 years.

And Napoli: Scudetto 33 Year Later with subtitle Sorry for the Delay, is also the title of this photo story made to celebrate the third Scudetto long awaited by Neapolitans living in Naples, and by those cheering from the rest of Italy and the rest of the world where they work, hope and love.

Initially, the photographic ebook was only supposed to collect 97 photos. The choice to include 97 photographs was not random: in Naples, numbers are important. 97 are the years of the SSC Napoli founded in 1926.

But the neighbourhoods and quarters of Naples presented themselves to my eyes as a riot of choreography. I soon realised that it would be impossible to contain the passion and attachment to the team in 97 photographic shots.

So at the end of the selection I included 136 photo from the historic quarters of Naples - Quartieri Spagnoli, Rione Sanità, Rione Forcella, Case Nuove, etc. - to tell the story of how the city prepared for the third Scudetto in the history of SSC Napoli.

Thinking of tourists and onlookers

The photo story is a true itinerary through the Quarters of Naples. There is no shortage of photos of Spaccanapoli, Via San Gregorio Armeno and other places of Naples' identity.

All photos, however, show the historical places of the city in the III Scudetto perspective. So an SSC Napoli flag or banner is always present in the photos.

And there is no lack of photographs taken in lesser-known places in Naples, but
