Italian Fisherman, Naples, Italy, 1996

Photograph by David Alan Harvey

"Romancing the sea, a fisherman waits to haul in his net off the city coast. On a good day the depleted waters yield only fistfuls of octopus and squid. The Mediterranean has fed Neapolitans since 600 B.C., when Greeks founded Neapolis, 'new city,' later a favored resort of Roman emperors."

—From "Naples Unabashed," March 1998, National Geographic magazine
