The Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte is one of the most important museums of Europe. The collection’s history goes back as far as the 16th century. It ‘inherited’ some of the most valuable and culturally important collections belonging to the Italian princely families, from the Bourbon Kings, the Borgia or even Farnese families. Founded by Pope Paul III (1534-1594), the Farnese Collection, for example, is comparable only to the Papal or Medici collections. Among others, Mantegna, Raphael, Titian, El Greco, Pontormo, Correggio and the Carracci. In addition, the magnificent painting of the ‘secolo d’oro’, or Golden Age of Neapolitan Baroque art.
