  • The East River Savings Bank in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Walking across Church Street they go beneath two American flags of the bank at the corner of 26 Cortlandt Street. Seen from a low angle, we look upwards to a tall skyscraper that rises into the Manhattan sky, adjacent to the site of the former Twin Towers and Ground Zero. It symbolises a wealthy country whose people largely enjoy a prosperity and stability of both economy and government.

  • Religious edicola (aedicula votiva) shrine featuring Jesus and the Madonna, Naples, Italy. On a street corner in the city, whose urban area has a population of 3.7 million, and is the 9th-most populous urban area in the European Union. Around 4 million people live in the Naples metropolitan area, one of the largest metropolises on the Mediterranean Sea. It is also within the administrative evacuation zone should the nearby Vesuvius volcano erupt again, as it last did in 1944. Naples has a total of 448 historical churches, making it one of the most Catholic cities in the world in terms of the number of places of worship.

  • The Bay of Naples (population 3.7m) seen from the south-western slopes of the Vesuvius Volcano which last erupted in 1944. The national emergency plan to protect the inhabitants from a possible eruption of the Vesuvius area has as its baseline the explosive event of 1631. Drafted by the scientific community has identified three areas with different hazard defined: the red zone, yellow zone and the blue zone. The red zone is the area immediately surrounding the volcano, and is in greater danger as potentially subject to invasion by pyroclastic flows, or mixtures of gases and solids at high temperature which, sliding along the slopes of the volcano at high speed can destroy in a short time everything is on its way. Pyroclastic flows probably will not grow at 360 ° in the neighborhood of the volcano, but will head in one or more preferential directions
