Capodimonte Museum of Art

About

This building, once a palace of the House of Bourbon, still preserves the lingering presence of royalty today through its lavish lighting and grand corridors. Natural light reflecting off the blue ceiling softly brushes across the floor, guiding visitors carefully as they move between sculptures and paintings. Images of gods made of terracotta, or the glimmer of medieval glasswork, seem to flow along the walls. The space created by Giovanni Antonio Medrano's design conjures a soft stillness that seems to travel back through time. Here, a myth left by light, stone, and the touch of human hands stands quietly.
