“Vedi Napoli e poi muori" is a video work showing 28 reproductions of oil paintings, highlighting the awe-inspiring beauty and destructive power of Mount Vesuvius. The title refers to the famous italian phrase "See Naples and then die.", echoed most famously by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, to identify Naples as the most naturally and artistically beautiful city in the world; so beautiful that one needn't look upon anything else after seeing it.
