In Via San Rocco the people, without effort, tap the wagon from the balconies, covering it sometimes with confetti.<br />
In Naples, in the places where degradation of culture and traditions are still popular, people condense in the briefest of moments, cyclical, of the party, its history daily, made of sweat, hopes, disappointments, fatigue, illness. The party therefore assumes a character of inevitability for its ability to signify all the painful complexity of life.

  • The Jazz scene is still very much alive in Harlem.  Patrons listen to improvisational Jazz at S. Nicks's Bar.  Harlem, a neighborhood of New York City in Manhattan, began as a Dutch village in 1658 and was later annexed to New York City in 1873.  At the beginning of the 20th century African-American's began arriving from the southern American states looking for work in the more industrious north.  With their migration, the African-American community brought with them a renaissance in the arts to Harlem that is still evident today.  After World War II Harlem began experiencing a significant rise in crime and poverty due to the Great Depression that lasted until the 21st century.  A new pride in the community has brought a renewed revival to Harlem, and crime rates have dropped to record lows giving the New York City neighborhood a new lease on life.
