Monograph

Le ville a Napoli di età moderna. Chiaia luogo di conveniente dimora

  • Giuseppe Pignatelli Spinazzola,

The first volume of the series I Quaderni di NeaVia. Studi sulla villa is dedicated to Chiaia, the westernmost of the Neapolitan suburbs, an extramoenia area that has always been easily recognizable for its balance between urban and rural dimensions, place for the otium to regenerate body and spirit. The early 16th century saw the first results of that process of architectural repurposing which, having begun at the end of the 15th century, would lead to the gradual consolidation of a dense network of prestigious properties celebrated for their charming views of the sea and the Posillipo coast, and whose history – including expansions, modernizations, and changes of destination reconstructed using a lot of documents – would accompany the development of the hamlet until the dawn of the contemporary age.
