As art historian I never stop to suggest all my client to visit this amazing museum. Visiting Capodimonte, opened to the public as a museum in 1957, is equivalent to browsing a manual of art history from the thirteenth to the twentieth century, up to the contemporary with over 47000 works of art. In the 126 galleries on three main levels, in addition to the ground floor and mezzanines, there are masterpieces by artists of every Italian painting school - Tuscan, Venetian, Emilian, Neapolitan, Roman - but also important foreign presences such as Brueghel, Van Dyck and other Flemings. And then the sculptures, from Renaissance busts to modern and contemporary works; Located in the Bourbon Royal Palace of Capodimonte, in a lush garden of the hill with an amazing view of the city, the Museum is a treasure trove of paintings and decorative art of the Italian paintings from 13th to the 18th including major works by Simone Martini, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Masaccio, Mantegna, El Greco, and Parmigianino.
This is a walking tour. •We will meet first outside the Museum. The palace of Capodimonte was founded in 1738 by Charles of Bourbon, King of Naples in 1734, to house the collection inherited from his mother Elizabeth, the last descendant of the powerful Farnese family. The Reggia, completed only a century later, already housed in 1756 the famous collection while in the other wing of the same floor there is the Royal Apartment. With a modern layout it is proposed the dual function of palace and museum that has characterized from the beginning the site of Capodimonte. We will visit in the first floor: the Farnese Collection (an incredible excursus from Masaccio to Titian and Raffaello), the Borgia Collection, the Gallery of rare objects and the Royal Apartment. On second floor we will admire the Neapolitan section (from Simone Martini to Caravaggio and Caravaggio's school).
