5th Cistern

The panel of photographs that you see in front of you depicts the most significant moments during the anti-Nazi rebellion that took place during the Occupation of Naples.

The tank that you see recreated inside this cistern is an art installation that recalls the moment when the Neapolitans drove the Nazi soldiers out of the city. The old masks are actually real and they were given out to the civilians who were inside the bunker in order to filter the air in case of bombardment.
