Since the dawn of time, fire has fascinated the spirit of man. And it is with pyrotechnic art and fireworks that man's ancient relationship with fire is celebrated. The firework has a cathartic function, it removes the specter of war through the ritualized use of its most striking components: the din, the danger, the distant lights in the night. It also appears that pyrotechnics are closely linked to exorcism from the danger of volcanic eruptions: the firework free from the presence of evil spirits, which popular belief evokes in volcanic areas. Il Fuoco di Napoli traces the story of a man, Giuseppe Scudo, and his passion, the fireworks. His art and his life are one for him. This Neapolitan blaster challenges danger with clarity and intelligence. His work is a delicate alchemy of ancient knowledge, imagination and courage.
