Up for sale is a genuine, early 20th-century sepia-toned vintage postcard titled
"Napoli - Dolce far niente" (Naples - The Sweetness of Doing Nothing).

Neapolitan street children (historically referred to as scugnizzi or lazzaroni)
resting along a stone curb. This evocative composition captures the early tourist
documentation and social climate of Southern Italy during the turn of the century.
