From 29 March to 15 September 2024
A large exhibition with over sixty masterpieces from the artistic collections of Capodimonte which include authentic masters such as Caravaggio , Titian , Masaccio and Parmigianino , to name a few.
A journey to discover an exceptional collection but also a fascinating history: that of a great museum which, over the centuries, has preserved some of the most prestigious art collections in Europe.
To recall the close relations between the Savoys and the Bourbons, the exhibition opens with a room entitled Neapolitan artists for the Savoy court with important loans from the collections of the Royal Museums of Turin. The Neapolitan masters were in fact great protagonists for the court altars and the construction sites of the Savoy residences.
The layout of the exhibition rooms follows the extraordinary history of the Royal Palace of Capodimonte which initially housed the Farnese art collection and then became the first Neapolitan museum. The museum was enriched over time by the Bourbon collection and works from churches and convents in the area which had brought works especially from the southern school into the royal heritage.
