Exhibition centres of art
This section is dedicated to the main exhibition centres of art in Naples, among which: Arts Palace in Naples, Museo del Mare di Napoli, Church of S. Severo al Pendino, Santa Casa dell'Annunziata "ruota" and la Casina Pompeiana.
Palazzo Arti Napoli
The PAN is a 6000 square metres edifice on three floors and the first Neapolitan city structure destined to lodge temporary exhibitions, a documentation centre endowed with archives, library and media collection, as well as cultural and laboratory activities, mainly experimental.
Sea Maritime Museum of Naples
The patrimony of the Sea Maritime Museum represents a unique piece of evidence of the development of the navy tradition of the city over the last three centuries.
Chiesa S. Severo al Pendino
The church was returned to its original architecture, highlighting the trabeations and the Renaissance columns which had been hidden by the 19th-century stucco-work. San Severo was built in 1575 on the site of the old church and hospital Santa Maria a Selice,
Santa Casa dell'Annunziata "ruota"
This "Sacred House" was erected in the 14th century together with the annexed church as a charitable institution for the care of abandoned infants. It was reconstructed first in the 16th century in Renaissance form, and then in the 18th century by Luigi and Carlo Vanvitelli, after a fire.
Casina Pompeiana
Built in 1870 in neoclassical style, the name "Pompeiorama" derives from the permanent exhibition of views of Pompei that was curated by the painter F. Maldarelli and then by the photographer Lauro.
