SSC Napoli, in collaboration with Azienda Napoletana Mobilità (ANM), has chosen the Chiaia metro station as the location for the club’s official team photo for the 2024/25 Serie A season.
This event is being brought to life for the first time through a video celebrating the ever-growing, inseparable bond between the club and the city.
The station is a unique space that blends modern efficiency with the timeless beauty of Naples, enhanced by works of art that reflect the city’s rich history and culture.
The “Stazioni dell’Arte” project, established in the Naples metro system, is one of the most significant and innovative public art and architecture projects in the past two decades. Internationally renowned artists and architects have transformed these public transport spaces into underground monuments, making them iconic landmarks of contemporary Naples, where art and beauty become integral to daily life.
Chiaia station, located on line 6 and designed by Uberto Siola, is a masterpiece of underground architecture. Situated over 40 meters below ground, the station features a spectacular transparent roof, offering travellers a unique experience as they descend to the platform, observing the gradual change in natural light.
Meanwhile, Peter Greenaway, collaborating with the architectural project, has created a seamless artistic experience that guides passengers on an evocative journey from the heights of Olympus to the depths of the Underworld. Greenaway’s work draws inspiration from the classical Greco-Roman world, deeply rooted in Naples’ history, and the entire experience is enriched with symbolic and mythological allusions.
“Our mission to highlight the artistic treasures of our city continues with the ‘Proud to be Napoli’ project,” commented Napoli Chief Revenue Officer, Tommaso Bianchini.
“This time, we aim to give global visibility to the remarkable ‘Stazioni dell’Arte’ project, which once again showcases Naples as a hub of art and culture. Napoli is eager to collaborate with all forms of excellence in the city.
“We want to thank the Municipality of Naples and ANM for initiating this partnership, which seeks to spread awareness of the innovative projects that define this Neapolitan Renaissance.”
“We are proud that the Chiaia station on line 6 was chosen by Napoli for such an iconic photoshoot—it serves as a symbol of unity with the city,” added ANM General Manager Francesco Favo. “This is the first in a series of collaborations aimed at showcasing the beauty and passions of our city.”
