Provenance and location unkown. Thought it might be the Certosa di San Martino in Vomero, but that’s not a functioning monastery. Who knows? Naples is a strangely middle-eastern city in some ways; there are always secret interiors that there are no exterior clues to. On the other hand, the claustrophobia of the tightly packed and built city often leads to a great deal of domestic life taking place in the street.
Yes, I know she’s technically from Pozzuoli and not the comune of Naples specifically, but that’s still part of the greater metropolitan area. Stumbled upon these and had to post them.

Me, I'm Nicholas Bakos, a.k.a. "NikoBako." I'm Greek (Roman really, but when I say that in English some five people in the world today understand what I'm talking about, so I use "Greek" for shorthand). I'm from New York. I live all over the place these days. The rest should become obvious from the blog.
