Conferences, shows and guided tours for a journey through memories of material and immaterial places in the hilly area of the city. This is the proposal of the event 'The Treasures of Hilly Naples', promoted by the Municipality of Napoli, which will be divided into three in-depth meetings, each set in a villa of significant artistic interest and dedicated to a particular chapter in the history and culture of hilly Naples.
"Promoting knowledge of cultural heritage and encouraging its public enjoyment is one of the strategic axes around which the action of the Manfredi administration is developed - says Sergio Locoratolo, coordinator of cultural policies of the Municipality of Naples - we have chosen to operate starting from the territory with a polycentric and inclusive vision that aims to bring to light hidden treasures to return them to the city. It is with this in mind that, in collaboration with Municipality 3, we have decided to promote a path of enhancement of the hilly Naples that will start precisely from the rediscovery of some extraordinary historical buildings, mostly closed or rarely accessible to the public".
It starts on November 10 and 11 at Villa Colonna Bandini, in the heart of Capodimonte to evoke the atmospheres of the noble villas of the 700th and 800th centuries, focusing on the birthplace of the illustrious mathematician Renato Caccioppoli. The meeting will be accompanied by an unpublished photographic exhibition by Sergio Siano entitled 'Capodimonte and its hidden residences', which will offer a visual journey through the art and culture of those extraordinary times. "There are countless treasures in our territory - underlines Fabio Greco, president of the III Municipality - and they deserve to be revealed, to be brought to the attention of citizens and tourists. There are just as many realities that work day after day on and for the territory, whose commitment deserves to be valorized".
The second appointment, on December 1st, will be at Villa Ferretti, in via Miano, and will lead visitors into the history of Vallone San Rocco and Bellaria, through a conference and a theatrical visit, revealing secrets and stories of these enchanting places. The last appointment, on December 12th, will be at Villa di Donato, in piazza Sant'Eframo Vecchio, and will offer the opportunity to discover the historic villas of Sant'Eframo. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Enrico Caruso, a show dedicated to the great tenor will be proposed, an emotional tribute to his life and his bond with the city of Naples.
