The Museum of Capodimonte in Naples was opened to the public in 1957 and hosts one of the richest and most prestigious art galleries in Italy.
Visiting the Museum of Capodimonte is like going through a history of art manual from the 13th to the 20th century and beyond.
In the Farnese Collection, one of the most famous of the Renaissance with masterpieces by Titian, Raphael, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Mantegna, Correggio, Parmigianino, Lotto, El Greco and the Carracci, masterpieces by artists of every Italian pictorial school can be found.
Furthermore, the gallery of arts in Naples from the 13th to the 18th century exhibits, mostly from Neapolitan churches and convents, works by Simone Martini, Titian, Caravaggio, Ribera, Artemisia Gentileschi, Luca Giordano and Francesco Solimena.
The collections are completed by the Gallery of the 19th century and the private 19th century, with works by Boldini, Gemito, Mancini, and the section, unique among Italian museums of medieval and modern art, dedicated to contemporary art, with artists of the caliber of Alberto Burri and Andy Warhol.
The Museum of Capodimonte is also a Bosco. Born as a hunting reserve, the Real Bosco is an uncontaminated green area overlooking the city and the Gulf of Naples. For its historical, architectural, and botanical heritage, the Bosco di Capodimonte was named in 2014 the most beautiful park in Italy.
