Pignatelli Museum

The Pignatelli Museum or Prince Diego Aragona Pignatelli Museum is located in the homonymous Villa along the Riviera di Chiaia, in the center of Naples .

The Villa was built during the nineteenth century in neoclassical style and is considered one of the most representative buildings of the city of Naples. The Villa now houses the Prince Diego Aragona Pignatelli Museum: the House Museum dedicated to Princess Rosina and her husband Pignatelli .

The House Museum preserves the original nineteenth-century furniture and furnishings and the majolica, porcelain, silver, bronze, sculptures and paintings collection . The nucleus is composed of Meissen and Capodimonte porcelain , among the most representative we mention: the group with the Rape of Proserpina, the Gallant Scene with a little dog and the Laundress .

The marble sculptures are certainly of great value, as they were commissioned to the most famous artists of the seventeenth century such as Giovanni De Martino, Domenico Guidi and Carlo Chelli. Also preserved are the sculptures of Vincenzo Gemito , such as Narcissus , and Giovanni Filippo Criscuolo , including the Birth of the Virgin and the Presentation in the Temple and the Marriage of the Virgin .

The Pignatelli Museum has a section dedicated to carriages from the Bourbon period and later until 1955. The collection is very rich with thirty-four carriages and buggies of Italian, English and French origin . Furthermore, it is possible to admire a collection of harnesses, bits and whips accompanied by the carriages.
