Not since the glory days of Diego Maradona had Naples witnessed such scenes of unbridled joyful celebration.
Naples was awash with colour, and the celebrations went on long into the night. It was a party 33 years in the making with the title clinched on May 5th 2023 and ecstatic Neopolitans swamped the streets, emotions running deep, just as they had all those years before.
Neapolitans are rightly proud. They are proud of their city, their history and their football team, and the outpouring of emotion during celebrations that went on long into the night epitomise that.
Born in Belgrade, Boogie began photographing rebellion and unrest during the civil war that ravaged his country during the 1990s. He continued to make documentary and portrait photographs of people on the margins of society and street photography around the world, becoming one of the most important and celebrated photographers of his genre and generation.
