Design Rationale

Carla Coulson and Lisa Clifford threw themselves into life in Naples and managed to capture the heart and soul of the culture. I married the text, imagery and painterly textures to create an immersive experience for the reader, which truly conveys the chaotic beauty of Naples and its people.
