    Le Vele di Scampia is a residential complex built in the homonymous district of Naples between 1962 and 1975. [1] They take their name from their triangular shape, reminiscent of a sail: wide at the base, the construction gradually shrinks that goes up to the upper floors.

    The complex was designed by the architect Francesco Di Salvo and was originally composed of 7 buildings on an area of 115 hectares; four of these buildings were demolished in 1997, 2000, 2003 and 2020; of the three remaining, two will be demolished while the last will be redeveloped. Over time, the neighborhood and the common areas of the complex became infamous places for illegal trafficking and the sails themselves became a symbol of the deterioration of the Naples neighborhood.
