Italian Romance
“Around her, the daily life of Naples' Spanish Quarter played itself out as it had probably done for centuries. Washing snapped in the breeze above the street like brightly colored flags, and the appartamenti at street level all had their front doors open so the street became an extension of the inhabitants' living rooms. It was late morning and the aroma of frying garlic wafted out onto the street, followed by the clanging of pots and pans as someone prepared lunch. An elderly couple sat outsid...e squabbling in dialect, while a young woman with a toddler in a pram stood chatting to a middle-aged woman who plied the small child with sweets. Nearby, a young man crouched next to his scooter, his hands blackened with grease. Naples appeared to be full of over-confident young men like him and they all dressed the same - tight jeans and a muscle t-shirt, buzz-cut black hair and Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses. He had stared at Luisa as she walked by, his gaze boring into her as she wandered along the street, taking photographs of whatever took her fancy. Her guidebook had warned her to take care in the Quartiere Spanolo but she had been captivated by its raw vibrancy.MoreLess
