“Napoli per me non è la città di Napoli, ma solo una componente dell’animo umano”. Here, etched on this plaque, are the very words of Luciano De Crescenzo. They capture his profound love for this vibrant city, a love that transcended mere geography. The Targa commemorativa a Luciano De Crescenzo Plaque, nestled in the heart of Chiaia, stands as a testament to this beloved Neapolitan figure. Unveiled just a year after his passing in 2020, the plaque is a symbol of the city’s enduring affection for the writer, actor, and philosopher. This wasn’t just a gesture from the city. It was a promise kept. De Crescenzo, with his characteristic wit, had once mused that if he couldn’t have a piazza named after him, he’d settle for Vicoletto Belledonne. The Targa commemorativa a Luciano De Crescenzo Plaque serves as a gentle reminder of De Crescenzo’s legacy. It’s a legacy woven into the very fabric of Naples, a city he saw as a mirror to the human soul.
