Overview

• The Monte Sant’Angelo stop on Line 7 was presented on September 11 after long delays, featuring station entrances conceived by Anish Kapoor.
• Onstage, Campania Governor Vincenzo De Luca misidentified Oumaima Boumoussaoui as the artist’s daughter before immediately correcting himself, saying “La moglie, chiedo scusa.”
• Kapoor and Boumoussaoui reacted with smiles, and she translated the artist’s remarks into Italian during the event.
• De Luca praised the work as a unique blend of sculpture and architecture and framed the station as emblematic of contemporary Naples.
• The region says it invested €400 million in the Line 7 project, and ANSA reports the station is expected to enter service within about a month.
