Museo di Capodimonte

Naples, Italy

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.

Its galleries hold one of Italy's most important collections of painting, with masterpieces by Titian, Caravaggio, Masaccio, Raphael, and Parmigianino, as well as Neapolitan painting and a notable collection of porcelain and decorative arts.
