As we walked around Naples, Italy with its ubiquitous graffiti, awesome food and colorful characters, we realized that the city truly shows its soul when seen in black and white.

Unlike travelers who create wonderful souvenirs while photographing Venice and its famous canals, we didn’t recognize the true beauty of Naples until we wandered through its winding streets. Once we did, we stumbled upon photo opportunities everywhere we walked.

We took numerous photos in Italy, but these are the photos that we love the most. In their simplicity, they show the true beauty of textural and luminescent Napoli – the real Italian city that stole our hearts.
