Synopsis

Napoli Eden captures the creative journey of the artist Annalaura di Luggo when she decided to build four monumental works of art out of recycled aluminum and position them in symbolic places in the city of Naples. [2]

Annalaura di Luggo also recruited some "at-risk-kids" from the Spanish Quarters of Naples [3] in an attempt to stimulate their lives with new positive and creative possibilities in "a journey towards the light".

The project highlights environmental protection through the theme of transforming recycled aluminum into works of art and conveys a vision of redemption, social inclusion, ethical and cultural rebirth. [4]
