Museo di Capodimonte, Castel Sant’Elmo, Certosa e Museo di San Martino, Museo Duca di Martina, Museo Pignatelli, Palazzo Reale. The exhibition is entirely dedicated to the Baroque in Naples, and it can be divided into three periods: the arrival of Caravaggio in Naples in 1606, the presence of Luigi Vanvitelli and Ferdinando Fuga in the city (1750) and the departure of Charles of Bourbon for Spain (1759).
On display 350 works, most of which are new or recently restored, among which paintings, drawings, sculptures, furniture, jewels, fabrics, ceramics and chinaware. The project involves the entire city and region with 27 baroque itineraries, among churches, charterhouses, collegiate churches, palaces and regional museums.
