detail of a letter to the city corps and cover with the Kingdom of two Sicilies's coat of arms.

"Making the most of an archive as important as the one of the City of Naples means not only arranging it the best way possible but also supplying it with indexes and making it as organized as possible in order to facilitate researchers' work remarkably. It's important that we help well educated people, either Italian or from other countries, get to know the nature of the files kept in this archive".
(Alessandro Cutolo, 1929)

The City Historical Archive, an area of the Historical Archive Department, has its office in the former Hermitage of Santa Maria della Purificazione e dei Santi Gioacchino ed Anna in Pontenuovo (Salita Pontenuovo n. 31)
