The exhibition traces the early years of the Capri-Naples, through the panels in black and white showing a cross-section of the competition, the places and the champions that they did become world famous.
The exhibition will be full of relics that tell, however, issues of recent years.
The “Giants of the Sea” live in our memory, in the memories of generations of Neapolitans who have learned to know and fall in love with “Capri-Napoli”. The races most incredible, expectations, arrivals, the triumphs are part of the history of the great sport of our city. We tried to stop time, to capture in a gallery of photos in black and white the great champions of the Marathon of the Gulf, which for years has been the world championship Water Swimming Championships. We have tried to describe, following the trail of magical images, some of the most important moments in the history of the “Capri-Napoli” started on 1 August 1954 and for nearly forty years has characterized the Neapolitan summer, becoming part of the habits, rhythms, memorable things of our city.
The historical path of “Capri-Napoli” is a fitting tribute to the 50th edition of the event. The legend of the marathon for aquatic excellence lives on in the wonderful photos donated by precious archives and the special sensitivity of Renato Carbone and New Fotosud, enriched by a story that lives the images through the details and emotions of the days of those magical shots.
In celebration of 50 great years world grows more and more admiration for the characters that have made it legendary, not only the samples that are celebrated in our review. But the men who gave life and strength to Marathon Gulf, by the inventor Alberto Barone and the newspaper “Il Mattino” that tied inextricably to the “Settimana Motonautica”, to Lello Barbuto who took the heritage, passionately in love, which from day one gave her prestige and popularity, transforming it into the flagship of its organizers, until you get to the recovery and the latest editions, strongly desired and tenaciously pursued by Luciano Cotena, despite many adversities and the historical context certainly not favorable.
