View of the Bay of Naples from Posillipo: Mergellina, Castel Sant'Elmo and Mount Vesuvius

The composition documents a panoramic view over the Bay of Naples, captured from the terrace on Via Francesco Petrarca, in the Posillipo district. The frame encompasses the urban coastline, showing the vegetation and residential elements of the hill in the foreground. Centrally, the curve of the Gulf outlines the Mergellina area and the core of the city. Distinct architectural features are visible on the Vomero hill, including the mass of Castel Sant'Elmo. In the background, the conical profile of Mount Vesuvius stands out against the eastern horizon, completing the marine panorama.
