The "coffin-shaped black outline" is actually a newspaper rolled into a cone - see the other flap over there on the right? Inside the cone are various spring flowers in blue and orange.

But I'm having a hard time with a couple of other things. One is trying to figure out what the red, green, and black blob to the right of Napoli, at the bottom represents?

And...

Was it really popular in that era to climb with one's forehead on the stem?
