A condemnation



The Fontanelle Cemetery, Interior

This summer, finding in Naples, I visited the cemetery Fontanelle , a very special place, known for the presence of springs and water sources in the heart of District Health .
is an extraordinarily evocative place that attracts other places, other times, it would say a sort of pagan rites and rituals to open, but none of it. Excavated into the tuff is a huge cave, high, divided into several rooms, would you say the Sibyl's cave, and this seemed to me that having visited previously and this took him in a photo sent to me by a friend of mine, but you most deeply involved, the more I find the religiosity typical of the territories of Greek origin, which preserves some spirit.
The altar for religious services clearly says that the place is sacred, the air we breathe in this environment, almost monochrome, but for some flash different light, forces you to silence, invites you to a prayer, the deepest respect, the respect due to a place where the heart of Naples is palpable.
The site demonstrates the spirit of charity to those who live in this city. We are in a charnel house, open in a tuff quarry.
accumulates along the walls where candles are burning bright, well-trimmed and fitted for eternal peace, there are thousands and thousands of bones, some canned in glass cases with names maybe awarded. Skulls, skulls infinite, are placed next to each other as to sustain, to keep company, to tell the story and the vicissitudes that Naples has lived and lives, as if to thank the good hearts of those who had mercy, compassion, love for those who had been abandoned, tortured, forgotten in a thousand cases, including the plague and cholera, to those who could not afford a proper burial place and time in this place, used to use, then abandoned, then restored, but then closed the will of the people is now open to witness the heart of Naples and its ability to take action to others even after death.

Today, there are but it is said that forty thousand remains under the floor for four meters is an infinite number of bones.

What would say today, those bones to feel they are doing the destruction of this city unique for its beauty and culture ? I look, I sigh and wonder: Host these bones, one day, among them the remains of those who today outrages and defiles the city so ruinously?
I read in those cavities disgust and refusal to make room for perpetrators of these atrocities and many.
The answer that I perceive is peremptory and shivers: even the ancestors rise up and their is a condemnation. Nowhere in Naples there is no place for those who love and respect this city.

Pictures taken in the splendor of the place.
