NAPOLI STELLATA

There are some projects that don’t just ask to be listened to - they ask to be lived. Napoli Stellata is one of them.

More than a concept album, it’s a collective tale told through music and images, tracing the contours of a visceral love story, deeply rooted in the soul of Naples. Set among the alleyways, piazzas and open skies of the city, the narrative centers around Lucì - a mysterious, luminous figure, a symbol of a Naples that is at once melancholic and full of light.

Conceived and directed by Tommaso Coseglia, creative mind and visionary behind the project, Napoli Stellata is the result of a collaborative process that brought together a new generation of Neapolitan artists. Six voices, six distinct creative souls, united by a shared emotional identity. Together with Tommaso, they co-wrote and performed songs that become chapters in a universal journey through love, suspended somewhere between intimacy and urban poetry.

Adding another layer to the experience is the visual album, available on YouTube, crafted by Dreamwaves Production in close collaboration with Coseglia himself. Each video serves as a cinematic window into the story, transforming the tracks into scenes from a collective film, building a truly immersive experience that blends image, word, and sound.

We sat down first with Tommaso, and then with each of the artists involved: the storytellers of a project that shows how, once again, Naples knows how to speak to the world - with its heart in its hands and its gaze fixed on the stars.

“Lucì isn’t just a character - she’s an idea, a feeling. Everyone interpreted her in their own way, made her their own. To really step into the story, it was crucial that the artists felt emotionally connected, that they found something authentic in Lucì they could relate to. It’s not necessarily about falling in love in a romantic sense, but about recognizing her as a muse, a symbol of love in its truest, deepest form.

Bringing together six artists with such distinct backgrounds wasn’t easy. Each one has their own world, their own vision, their own creative process. My role was to hold it all together without erasing anyone’s identity, to respect each voice while ensuring that everything sounded like one cohesive narrative. I wrote a lot, listened even more, and often helped shape the right words or find the right sound to match the emotion we wanted to express. It wasn’t just directing - it was about diving into each track and living it with them.

As for what’s next - I don’t follow fixed paths. Creativity, for me, is a journey without a map. I’m a dreamer who lets intuition and emotion guide the way. The next project will come when my heart and mind are ready to tell a new story. No rush, just the freedom to explore.”

Tommaso, three things that inspired Napoli Stellata:

“1- An untold love story.
I’d been carrying this story inside me for a long time - built from vivid memories and powerful feelings. I needed to give it a shape, to make it something I could share.

2- Naples as a living muse.
Every time I walk through the city, it speaks to me. Its sounds, its silences, its melancholy. Naples isn’t just a backdrop - it’s a character, an emotion, a truth. That’s where the idea came from to set the whole story in its most iconic places.

3- The underground Neapolitan scene.
I met so many incredible artists playing small venues - authentic people who turn real life into art. Their honesty struck me, and I knew they were the perfect voices for this story”.

Up next: Ramé. An artist who blends R&B and afrobeat with urban influences that reflect the multifaceted layers of her musical identity. In lyrics written in both Italian and Neapolitan, Ramé explores her own duality - strength and vulnerability, passion and introspection, instinct and contemplation.

Three times when nothing happened - but everything changed?

“1- When I look at old family photos, I feel how fast time moves. I see a picture of me as a little girl, with braids and glasses - I still recognize myself, even though I don’t wear glasses anymore.

2- The first time I wrote a song, I didn’t feel anything special. But I clearly remember how much it moved the people around me. For me, nothing had really happened - maybe for someone else, it had.

3- That moment when, without realizing it, I had already started looking at him differently. And, years later, the moment I understood I no longer felt anything at all”.

Groove and nostalgia define Elyk’s sound. Mixing English and Italian, the artist blends alt-R&B, pop, and indie into a style that’s unmistakably personal.

Three artists who “stole a kiss” from you?
“It’s hard to steal a kiss from me - I’m always on guard! Jokes aside, there are definitely artists who touch something deep inside. The first three that come to mind are SZA, Frank Ocean, and Tyler, the Creator!”.

Zack (aka Giovanni Flagiello) is a singer, producer, and sonic explorer from the northern suburbs of Naples, class of 2001. His style fuses alternative and indie rock with futuristic electronic influences - a reflection of a generation immersed in an increasingly digital world.

Your three favorite words in Neapolitan?

“Raggia (rage), fetillo (ass), and sciarmato (how do you even translate this?)”.

RosXSempre (aka Rosario Migliaccio), found his own path and musical identity in 2023, bringing punk energy and Neapolitan dialect together in a genre all his own.

Three times you thought, “C’amma fa?” (what can we do?)

“‘C’amma fà’ is a phrase we use a lot in Naples. If I had to name three moments when I’ve thought it, they would be:
1- When you're hanging out with friends and suddenly someone just says ‘C’amma fa?’ without a reason - it just fits.
2- When something bad happens and there’s nothing to be done, so all you can say is ‘C’amma fa?’.
3- And last but not least, when you're out with your girlfriend on a Saturday night, you can't decide where to eat, and one of you inevitably sighs and says: ‘C’amma fa?’”.

Noemi Tresa started making music at sixteen, but her true voice emerged in 2022 thanks to her collaboration with producers Yume (Stefano Granato and Simone Ottaviano). With deep roots in indie, pop, and Italian songwriting, her project NOTREDAM weaves a nostalgic and melodic personal sound.

Three places you never want to say goodbye to?

“I would never say goodbye to:
1- My bedroom. It’s my safe space, the place where I make sense of life’s events and turn them into something I can understand - and into songs. It’s where I learned how to translate my thoughts into music.

2- Piazza Quattro Giornate. I grew up there. It’s where I tried to figure out who I am by watching the gestures and listening to the voices of my friends.

3- The historic center of Naples. It woke something up in me - a new awareness, a curiosity to see beyond, to understand others deeply but lightly at the same time. That’s Naples: lighthearted and precise, even in its delays”.

Last but not least: Verdero (aka Davide Autorino). Singer-songwriter and producer whose unique style lives at the intersection of soulful songwriting and urban, indie, and R&B influences.

Three emotions you hope to pass on through your music?

“I would pass on three things, fundamental for me: truth, fear, appocundria.

1- Truth. It’s becoming so rare - it's precious in a world built on lies.

2- Fear. The kind that comes with losing someone you love. The desire to protect their story, to keep that flame alive in a song.

3- Appocundria. That bittersweet sadness. The ability to suffer, and to embrace it. Chest’è” - (that’s all).
