Università Metro Station

​In a city full of contradictions I've chosen a subject that seems incongruous in this ancient metropolis but speaks volumes for its personality. Rather than a mere means of getting from A to B the Naples Metro system is a living, breathing expression of art. In this photo you can see the weird and wonderful Università station where you'll find ticket halls resemble Star Wars film sets and there are others too such as the remarkable Toledo with its equally space-age escalators. Much of Naples' beauty lies beneath the surface and although the modernity of the Metro is atypical of that underworld, it aptly demonstrates  how surprising Naples can be.
