"888 eyes on Naples' look, invite you to be watched, propose to look at: it is always the same eye, repeated 888 times by Lucia Schettino in a smaller size of its already small business in china ink produced by the encounter, on paper very absorbent, between the water and a black drop, and then measured by the movement of the sheet in his hands: with the case to share with her the responsibility for the outcome.

We walk and we happen to scrutinize who comes to us and sometimes of being regarded. It lasts almost always very little, because it can create embarrassment if the look you barely insisted more. Most of the time, in fact, it gives it sideways, for a curiosity that has no courage. In some cities, as I seemed to see in Paris, already almost it does not happen more than two unknown persons, crossing, to beware. Lack of curiosity? Or is it a fearsome law, fortunately not yet written, respect insulation of each in its own little space? If it will be enacted and applied, watch others will be definitely a provocation, a "trespassing into weapons' menacing as in the days that precede the thesis wars: anything but a healthy interest in one's fellow man or the recognition that it exists.

For other reasons even the things the city we look for the most casually, without dwelling: I have little time; It is not among my commitments; I do not think anything interesting.

Schettino disseminates to Naples his eyes in places and among people for you have had or have any sense or simply the urge to do so, and entrusts some to those who truly wants to share his intention. To exhaust them, multiplies his attention, he increases his eyes, marks not only "his" crucial places but also people and things never before noticed. Who will meet with one of his 888 eyes, small as it is, and will linger at him to see it, he will have paid attention.
