Catalogue note
Original fold-out admission flyer from Manumission’s 1996 World Series campaign, presenting Naples as the City of the Week in Episode 11. The object combines a city-themed editorial parody built around “Miss Napoli” and spaghetti imagery with event information, DJ billing, Manumission’s serial collectable-flyer mechanic and a practical 1,000-peseta admission saving plus free drink. As part of a surviving run alongside Paris and Detroit episodes, it begins to document the campaign as a coherent designed sequence rather than an isolated club handbill.
Advertised programme: Daniele Davoli; Nicky Holloway; Jaymz Nylon; DJ Jerome (N.Y.C.); Martin Morales; Alfredo; Cesar de Melero; Salvador on percussion; Shamanka Phoenix; residents Griff & Jay.
Graphic-design significance: Serial Manumission World Series campaign using city-themed editorial parody, glamour photography, typographic storytelling and functional ticketing as one designed object.
Historical context: Episode 11 of Manumission’s 1996 World Series uses Naples as a themed identity at Privilege, Ibiza. It combines visiting DJs with Ibiza regulars, percussion and recurring residents. The printed biographies discuss Davoli’s Black Box success and Jaymz Nylon’s New York connection. Naples is the theme, not the event location.
Confidence / uncertainty: Image review corrects earlier transcription: the bill says Daniele Davoli, not Danny Tenaglia; Jaymz Nylon, not Jamyz; DJ Jerome (N.Y.C.), not N.C.G. Martin Morales is retained as billed; a possible later food/cultural career is not asserted from a name match.

Event details are drawn from the held object and the qualified catalogue research above. A printed bill establishes an advertised booking, not confirmation that a performer appeared.
Why this object matters
The Naples fold-out preserves a serial editorial parody and practical admission mechanic within the 1996 World Series. Its relationship to Paris and Detroit makes the campaign more legible, but a sequence contribution alone does not justify individual Gold.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
