ultimately, it's impossible for us to see in an ancient greek work of art what an ancient greek saw. nevertheless, viewing the tradition as a whole helps us understand its parts. in that light, the art of our own times may appear to be the disintegration of the tradition, its dissolution. against that, though, western art is clearly still alive and changeable. in its past, it contains a reservoir of riches for future generations to make of what they will. its greatest characteristic has always been its capacity for innovation and change, to draw on the achievements of other cultures, whether of ancient egypt or of modern africa, the pacific, or latin america. and so perhaps now as our culture grows more and more global, the next phase of western art will see it reaching back to its great humane values, to its meditations on the human condition, and integrating them with the global culture of the 21st century. captioning performed by the national captioning institute, inc. captions copyright 1989 educational broadcasting corporation annenberg media ♪ is by movado, makers of the mova

centuries before christ, naples was a thriving greek commercial center called "neapolis," or "the new city." over the ages, it became an important center ruled by a series of foreign overlords. in the 18th century, naples finally became the capital of its own independent kingdom. then, with the unification of italy in 1861, naples fell from being an important political capital to just another provincial town. neapolitans lament that after their city joined the newly united italy, its riches were swallowed up by the new country. as the city's wealth was used to fund the industrial expansion of the north, naples eventually lost its status and glamour. today, italy's third largest city feels in many places like an urban jungle. its lack of open spaces or parks makes it europe's most densely populated city. watching the police try to enforce traffic sanity is almost comical in this gritty city.
