Title	Naples and Mt. Vesuvius, April 1945
Creator	Shaffer, Melvin C.
Description	A view of the harbor at Naples with Mt. Vesuvius in the background. A truly beautiful city, Naples was a nice retreat from assignments in the forward areas. This photo was made after the massive eruption of Vesuvius and clearly shows the newly formed top of the mountain. [paragraph] Even during the war the city was a thriving and busy place. Italy had surrendered on September 8, 1943 and the Italians were warm and friendly towards the US soldiers. It was a common experience to be stopped on the street and asked: "Did you know my Uncle Pietra, he live in Brooklyn but I forgot his address but thought you probably knew him, he very big man". I would always ask, "He Mafioso?" to which the answer usually was, "Yeah, he big."
