Sant'Anna dei Lombardi (Monteoliveto)

The church of Monteoliveto, or Sant'Anna dei Lombardi, is known for its quantity and quality of Renaissance artworks, such as those by tuscans Benedetto da Maiano and Antonio Rossellino, together with famed frescos by Giorgio Vasari within the Sagrestia Vecchia that make the Church one of the most relevant examples of Tuscan Renaissance in Naples. It’s also important to mention the Compianto sul Cristo Morto, a statuesque group by Guido Mazzoni from Modena. Guided Tours of the Museum are organized by the Social Cooperative ParteNeapolis.

We knew nothing about the church but were introduced to it by a couple of young stuff members that were promoting it outside. The church seems pretty forgettable until you reach the last chapel, a beauty all covered in frescoes by Giorgio Vasari,  the illustrious tuscan artist from 1500s. Worth the visit.

This museum is a highlight in Napoli, I spent most part of the day there. There is a fantastic exhibition in the royal apartments about cultural life in Napoli in baroque times. The is a vast collection of medieval, renaissance and baroque painting. And I was pleasantly surprised by the modern art at the top floor. Highlights are paintings by Caravaggio, Brueghel and Andy Warhol.

Museobottega della Tarsialignea

Reviewed By 128melissar - La Center, United States

This small museum in the heart of Sorrento is well worth a visit. We had a bit of a time finding it, but once we did, we loved wandering the three floors and marveling at the exquisite inlaid wood that Sorrento is known for. You don't have to spend forever, but do yourself a favor and poke your nose in. It will give you a much greater appreciation and eye for this art form.

Villa Pignatelli

Reviewed By AntoineWaterfall - Volleges, Switzerland

If you are a dreamer, or remember in another life your aristocratic life in a millenium mansion this is the place for you. The house looks as is Princess Pignatelli just left it. Her books, her furniture, her pictures and the walls (paintings and souvenirs by camera), the sofas, the plates, the dining room her library: everything is here. Oh, I forgot: her garden, her pants her trees her gorgeous 'strelitzia' bushes (my favorite flower sometimes called oiseau paradis in French). Go everyday there, ask yourself why the bathroom looks upon the stairs with a bay window (- yes, true, why?). Nearby also the good looking carriage museum (most carriages made in Naples, poor guys and industry destroyed by the automotive industry). In the 'curies' (stables) of the princess. Unforgettable.
