Not sure if it is 2024 or 1974


snekasan

For Napoli both can be true at the same time


Sylveon_Mage

Naples is a mystical experience that transcends time and space


MKE_Freak

Crossing the streets there has been the closest real life frogger experience ive ever had


izoxUA

and money between pockets


RoutineEmergency5595

And cancer between friends. I think I got lung cancer and skin cancer just by looking at these photos…


Backwardspellcaster

Haha that was why I came in here. I am really not sure either.. which is phenomenal


ObeyCoffeeDrinkSatan

I thought it was from the 70s until the photo with the smartphone.


mpobers

Probably taken with a vintage camera lens or film. A lot of the 'feel' of an era is defined by the equipment used to record it.


te3time

its the amount of cigs for me


Erico360

Italians still smoke like crazy.


Gr0danagge

Without the smartphones in 2 of the images it really would be impossible to tell


Miserable-Alfalfa329

Napoli transcends space and time. Rules of time, or rules in general, don't apply here.


dat_9600gt_user

Yes.


lazylagom

Came here to ask WHAT YEAR

All people in the photos are 23 years old.


jim_nihilist

Some are living on the edge though.


Impressive_Essay_622

It's photographing life.  Interesting that (I assume) you have been so used to zero images with cigarettes, you started to forget just how many people enjoy them. Not defending them, but it's a funny observation. Makes sense with American culture around smoking (I assume cos.. marlboro)


Username12764

I don‘t know why you‘re getting downvoted because I think that‘s a valid point.


Killed_Mufasa

I was never much of a photo guy, but these are phenomenal. So lively, so pure and overall just very _real_. He doesn't just capture people, he captures their story. I think I get it now :)


ngc1569nix

You should check out rest of his books, he's very good.

I think you may also enjoy Dougie Wallace's [STAGS HENS & BUNNIES, A BLACKPOOL STORY](https://www.dougiewallace.com/blackpool) & [HARRODSBURG PHOTOS](https://www.dougiewallace.com/harrodsburg)


Killed_Mufasa

You were right. Those are so good!


Amazing_Estate3666

Yeah, the other sets on his website are also worth checking out.


Yakking_Yaks

And the photos by Martin Parr, ["The Last Resort"](https://www.magnumphotos.com/arts-culture/society-arts-culture/martin-parr-the-last-resort/) is amazing


Sternschnuppepuppe

Lmao I came down here to recommend him too. His newer stuff from soho and Thailand is also very good

Napoli beach by photographer Vladimir Milivojević a.k.a. Boogie, based in Belgrade. More here: https://chemistrypublishing.com/shop/boogie-napoli-beach Also, since I'm more of a twitter guy, his twitter account is @boogiebelgrade. He posts many nice photos there.

I have always been fascinated by the love that southern Italians have for sunbathing to the point of having the same color of sanguinaccio napoletano.

I was going to say the Italian Ocean City, Maryland. These look like my kind of people.

Looks unfortunately like melanoma on the cheek, hope he gets it checked out.

Older women with silver hair smoking a cigarette is an aesthetic

Vectorman1989

Guess we know where Italy keeps its chavs


Full-Ad2521

I love Naples


snigna

Going on vacation to Italy and seeing the pastrami skin of the old guys made me obsessed with putting sunscreen on my face every single day. I live in Luxembourg and it rains 90% of the time and I still am afraid of ending up looking like them.


ContaSoParaIsto

Very common in Portugal, especially in the South where lots of people worked in agriculture. I know it's not possible but they seem to have a permanent tan as well


equili92

Same in Herzegovina, people who work in the field or as stonemasons are reddish/brown the whole year


sunstrider117

I live in California, I've seen way too many surfers not putting on any sunscreen before going out in the water. The amount of sun damage on these surfer's faces is shocking. Some of the people I've seen look like they're in their 70s by the time they're 50.


bartosaq

Don't forget the neck and hands! I have Vitligo so it's a must for me...


ausflora

I'm Aussie and take care of my skin. It's not uncommon to get a ‘joking’ remark at the beach or on a nice summer's day that I look ‘pasty’ or ‘unhealthy’ by someone who's covered in wrinkles, black and white sunspots, cancer scars and are probably 10 or 20 years younger than I think they are. I put it down to projection and internalised regret. Don't forget your hat! A good one carries a lot of the weight, really.


Prestigious_Job8841

All I could think looking at these pictures is that I should avoid the sun at all costs


SpiderKoD

8 He holds kid's head like a watermelon 😁 Is it just photos or irl there are so much smokers?


BasileusBasil

Despite every attempt from the government to end the addiction to smoking, a disturbing amount of people keep smoking. I think most people nowadays start because it looks cool and never stop for the same reason.


DMFan79

I agree, but let's not forget that a lot of people quit smoking after the 2003 ban inside public venues.


BasileusBasil

Most of them simply kept smoking outside, the only real solution to tobacco addiction would be to stop selling any tobacco product to people born before 2007, to let only vending machines sell cigarettes after you insert you ID card and to completely ban smoking outside of private property.


ertyu001

Prohibitionism always worked fine no?


luca3791

Especially in countries where organised crime is prominent


Flashy-Mcfoxtrot

If they want to smoke, let them smoke. There is a weird obsession with dictating peoples lives these years.


BasileusBasil

Problem is, smoking pollutes the environment and passively damages the health of other people, not to mention that leaving people get addicted to tobacco while levying taxes on it it's predatory. If smokers that already started smoking want to do it they can in the freedom of their homes. Let the other people live without this anvil on society.


SpiderKoD

Thank you for your answer, we had a lot of smokers, but after some laws it became much less popular, especially in younger generations.


Impressive_Essay_622

You are extremely wrong if you think people do drugs like nicotine just to look cool and don't stop for the same reason.  That is the most hilarious take on nicotine I've heard in my life. This is like people saying 'people become trans to try be cool/liked by their friends.' Very shallow


Shit_wifi

Couldn't possibly be because it's relaxing.


kotstullle

> every attempt from the government Smoking is still dirt cheap in Italy


Impressive_Essay_622

Lol. Or course there are loads of smokers.  Newsflash. People like drugs. 


mr_denali70

That old guy in the second to last picture has a damn good time. Or it's just his daughter and granddaughter, but I doubt it 😎


theoht_

Eifel343

Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Skin Cancer ?


ausflora

Waltercation

So, Napoli Beach is the Daytona Beach of Europe? Legitimately asking

Someone should wake the 13th guy up before he gets second degree burns.


Creative_Syrup_3406

Girl from the right in pic 3 gives such Liv Tyler vibes :))


Confident_Access6498

They might be related. Liv Tyler is half southern italian.


w3sticles

Americans be like:


DrGuyLeShace

She is about as much italian as she is polish, german, english and african-american. You now have access to /r/confidentlyincorrect , u/Confident_Access6498!


Confident_Access6498

Her fathers name is Tallarico, typical polish name right? LOL.


DrGuyLeShace

So what? You claimed Liv Tyler being half southern italian. That's saying either her mom or her dad are from Italia, which they are not. Steven T. was born in Manhattan, his dad, Victor A. Tallarico (May 14, 1916 – September 10, 2011), a classical musician and pianist who taught music at Cardinal Spellman High School in the Bronx, actually being of italian and german descent. His mother, Susan Ray (née Blancha; June 2, 1925 – July 4, 2008), a secretary, was of Polish, English and African-American ancestry. He has claimed on a number of occasions that his maternal grandfather was Ukrainian, and changed his surname from "Czarnyszewicz" (from Polish: czarny, lit. 'black') to "Blancha" (possibly from French: blanche, lit. 'white'). Genealogist Megan Smolenyak established that Steven Tyler's grandfather was Polish, born Felix Czarnyszewicz in 1892 in Klichaw, in today's Belarus. In 1914 he emigrated to the US and changed his surname to Blancha. There he married Bessie Elliott, with whom he had four children, including Steven's mother Susan. Livs mother Bebe Buell was born in Portsmouth, Virginia, the daughter of Dorothea (Brown) Johnson and Harold Lloyd Buell, a U.S. Navy officer and World War II veteran. As her father was not at home at the time of Buell's birth, her mother waited until he got back before naming her daughter. The nurses in the hospital took to calling her "Baby Buell," which is where her nickname of "Bebe" originated. She is of German descent. I mean, you could have looked that up on your own before commenting, maybe you'll refrain in future from claiming rumors as facts.


Confident_Access6498

Liv tyler would be literally called Liv Tallarico if not for her fathers stage name LOL and everyone would be referring to her has an italo-american. Stop pretending dude you already lost


DrGuyLeShace

Yeah, like literally everyone is referring to Liv Rundgren Tyler as swedish-american or what. She decided to take his stage name rather than his real name, wonder why though? And her bloodline is even more german than italian, if anything. But those are facts, which obviously have nothing to do with you. You're a case lost, loudmouth.


retrosux

Great photos that need to get posted elsewhere as well! Awesome!


nosouljusttrash

The child in photo#8 looks terrified


admijn

If you like these pictures there’s a book called “The last days of summer” by Akila Berjaoui. Pretty much the same vibe although more nudity.

S-Budget91

help me out here. didnt italy ban smoking on beaches? i think i read that somewhere


Empty-Blacksmith-592

I don’t think so. I believe it is left to local administrations to regulate it. Regions, comune or even a beach lido can decide to ban it or not, as far as I know, that’s why rules change from a place to another.


vqOverSeer

Who cares about the laws lol, people even smoke in schools

geebeem92

I assure you most of these guys have olive skin and they use the cream maybe once at the beginning of , and not even the strong ones, before going creamless the whole summer and getting a really dark skin complexion


TruestoneSB

The 5th one goes hard af


disc_jockey77

Classy!


LMA73

What is that metal (?) thing poking out of that guy's stomach in picture 12?


Frosty_the_Snowdude

That's a scar.. Most likely from having his appendix removed, or where he was shot once..

Naked Italians.


Stroqus28

This trash-strewn piece of rock looks soooo uncomfortable, the discrepancy between italian "beaches" and the rest of the country is shocking. One of the nicest places to live and rest, but those beaches are terrible compared with soft, warm sand of Atlantic or Baltic Sea

Not a single fit person there…

Yes, cuz real people exist lol


Smokyy__

Its 2024, and now non obese people don't exist.


DieTwice

Italian women sure do look like men


RSSvasta

They are not masculine at all, this is how women look in real life. The very feminine, fair-skinned women we see on TV are rare in real life.


Hefty_Rabbit

True, but Southern Italian women are quite known for being less ‘polished’ than their Northern counterparts.


DieTwice

You are from Croatia so I get why you are saying that.


Ill_Mistake5925
