Copa90 Documentary: The story of Napoli – The glue that holds a city together

The latest documentary from Copa90 is a top to bottom exploration of one of the most football-obsessed cities in the world – Napoli.

This is Napoli

Napoli is almost unique in Italy in having just one team and, as a result, that team has come to symbolise the hopes and dreams of the city. It is the means through which they can get away from the stereotypes of mafia corruption and violence, and express a successful, positive identity to the world.

It is the vehicle for every Neapolitan to expel the tensions of everyday life. It is the glue that holds the city together. We have covered every inch of the story from cab drivers to ultras, bar owners to academics, and star players to the family of a tragically murdered fan.

It’s a cliche but, in Napoli, football really is a religion. This is a hymn in celebration of that religion.
