Concrete towers of the Le Vele housing project defined Secondigliano's skyline for half a century. Designed by Franz Di Salvo in the late 1960s and completed by 1975, the sail-shaped apartment blocks were intended as a modernist social housing experiment for northern Naples but became synonymous with overcrowding and neglect. Demolition of the remaining structures began in the 2020s, and the area is being reimagined under a broader urban regeneration programme. Secondigliano is a district of Naples in Campania, with a population around 42,800.
Beyond the housing estates, the neighbourhood retains traces of its older identity as a separate comune that was absorbed into Naples in 1926. The Church of Santa Maria della Misericordia and scattered eighteenth-century farmhouses along Via Limitone d'Arzano recall the agricultural settlement that preceded mass urbanisation.
