💙Napoli dalla Certosa di San Martino.

The Presepe Cuciniello at the National Museum of San Martino in Naples is said to be the largest nativity scene in the world with 160 characters, 80 animals, 28 angels and over 400 miniature objects. The lighting continuously cycles from dim to bright to give the impression of different times of day.

« Naples is the most mysterious city in Europe. It is the only city of the ancient world that has not perished like Iliuim, Nineveh, Babylon. It is the only city in the world that did not sink in the immense shipwreck of ancient civilization. Naples is a Pompeii that has never been buried. Naples is not a city, it is a world. It is the ancient world, pre-Christian, remained intact on the surface of the modern world. Naples is the other-Europe.  »

Shepherds, livestock, and “rustics” populated the rural areas of Neapolitan nativity scenes that depicted angels announcing the birth of Jesus to the humblest members of society who were looked down on by many people.

The revival of interest in Goncharov makes me wonder if Scorcese regrets cutting all the flashbacks of Deborah Kerr as Katya's Dostoevsky-quoting birth mother, Countess Oblomov, whose shady descent into counter-revolutionary madness brings about her tragic death at the hands of a mysterious KGB operative, the Black Narcissus (and wasn't Andrey sporting a narcissus in his lapel when he meets Sofia at the hanging gardens of Certosa di San Martino??? hmm...). Alas, at that point the film was nearly four hours long and Scorcese had no recourse but to make the cuts and pay off Kerr's champagne bill at the Hotel Decumani.

That said, in a world of pointless prequels, this one would be so worth it.
