The Museo di Capodimonte is an art museum in Naples, Italy, housed in the Palazzo di Capodimonte, a vast Bourbon palace begun in the eighteenth century under King Charles VII of Naples. The palace was originally built in part to display the Farnese collection, which Charles had inherited through his mother.
