It had weathered the storm of the past few days but not the torrential rains and stormy seas of the past few hours. The Bourbon stone arch, a former 18th-century ship landing site, collapsed today.
It was the last testimony of the old Bourbon portrait portrayed in many pictures of the Neapolitan School. It was born as a landing place for the fishermen ‘Lucianos’, inhabitants of the nearby town of Santa Lucía. In the 19th century it was transformed into a sewer drain terminal and was renamed by the Neapolitans O Chiavicone.
It had been abandoned for years, but had always resisted the force of the sea, until today at least.

“In the end the so-called Bourbon arch collapsed. We waited a long time for the works, whose competence was neither the Municipality nor the Municipality, but I had chosen to take care of it anyway. The Superintendency had ordered the restitution to the Port Authority for several months. , requesting the start of the works in a very short time, the Port Authority in recent months had only taken measures to ensure it.
He had repeatedly asked the Port Authority to start work, the last time a few days ago. I had been assured of a meeting with the Superintendency for the restoration work in early January. Now its too late. Too much time wasted … I am really bitter and I hope that the Superintendency sheds light on why these works never started ”. This is the comment of Francesco Carignani, councilor of the Municipality of Naples.
