Panoramic view of Naples
** Naples, that city you love or hate, ** is full of charming corners, narrow streets, historic buildings, clothes hanging in the windows and old-fashioned balconies.
When we thought that its chaos and orderly disorder were its main charm, the director Joerg Daiber , YouTube channel creator Little Big World , shows us the city from another perspective, specifically in miniature with his video Nothing but Naples.
Put things in perspective. That is the goal that Daiber pursues when he creates these types of videos. "I think most people take themselves very seriously and reducing the world to a miniature puts things into perspective" , he explains to Traveler.es.
"In the grand scheme of things, human civilization is not much larger than a colony of ants. People with big egos often overestimate their role in the world. If my videos made at least some people think about it, I'd consider my job done."
Tiny and at great speed, in the four minutes that the video lasts, Daiber takes us through the Quartieri Spganoli (the Spanish Quarter), which is part of the historic center of Naples; the train station, the port and the Castel dell'Ovo.
Something that caught Daiber's attention was that "It seems that everyone is busy and cleaning up. I was about to call the video Neat Naples (clean Naples), "he jokes.
And it is that the director explains that he spent a lot of time waiting for things to happen in different observation points. "It was quite difficult to get to good vantage points, as high vantage points are necessary for this type of work. In the end I used at least three different locations in Naples to access rooftops and public viewpoints."
Focusing on the day-to-day details has allowed her to build a more engaging story and discover that she loves Naples and its people. "It's a city that keeps a low profile, but with some incredibly nice people . I really enjoyed my time there and would love to come back."
Furthermore, "you don't have the feeling, as happens in Rome, of being in an open-air museum all the time.
