luxury apartments / penthouses for sale Naples, Italy (page 2)

Palazzo Doria D'Angri rises imposingly in the historical center of Naples, with its majestic front facing the hill, just as commissioned by Marcantonio Doria who, in the late 1700s, ordered its reconstruction at the hands of Luigi Vanvitelli. That front was to be seen as a sight to behold by the monarchs who, from the Royal Palace of Capodimonte, descended in carriages to the Royal Palace. Palazzo Doria became famous a century later when, on September 7, 1860, Giuseppe Garibaldi announced from its balcony the annexation of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to Italy. The trapezoidal-shaped palace has two inner courtyards, the first hexagonal and the second rectangular, which are perfectly in axis with each other thanks to a skillful play of perspectives, an optical telescope that allows a glimpse of Spaccanapoli and at the same time confers an enormous luminosity. Once through the grand doorway, the monumental Vanvitellian staircase leads us directly to the two noble floors that spread over 2,000 square meters of frescoed rooms with hand-painted ceilings: 43 Murano chandeliers, a collection of 110 artworks and more than 500 prints, 21 consoles and 32 mirrors, 12 columns, 29 statues, including the half-bust of Garibaldi, which echoes from the large stained-glass window in the main hall, more than 50 lamps, and finally 6 tapestries make this mansion an ' unicum ' that has no equal among Neapolitan noble palaces. The mansion has undergone expert restoration and impressive renovation. Today, in addition to the charm and beauty of the artistic and architectural elements that have persisted for centuries, there is the addition of the latest generation of facilities that make Palazzo Doria an enchanted place of comfort, history and elegance.
