O munaciello, il diavolo di Mergellina, la leggenda di Capodimonte e molti altri ancora: una Napoli esoterica, magica e circondata dalla nebbia del mito. Mancano a noi le nere foreste del Nord, le nere foreste degli abeti, cui l'uragano fa torcere i rami come braccia di colossi disperati; mancano a noi le bianchezze immacolate della neve che dànno la vertigine del candore; mancano le rocce aspre, brulle, dai profili duri ed energici; manca il mare livido e tempestoso.
