Palazzo Turchini
via Medina, 21/22 |
|
|
Palazzo Turchini is also very close to the most famous Neapolitan theatres and Universities, as well as the head offices of the most important companies and banks. Besides the Port and the underground, which are really very close, it is also close to the funicolari - the funicular railways provide quick and easy access to the hills surrounding Naples in a very short time. Palazzo Turchini, a bright symbol of the Parthenopean pietas and of the intense musical life of Naples in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, is located in the hearth of the viceregal city, very close to Rua Catalana, where able craftsmen have been working copper and iron for centuries. The building belonged to the Royal Conservatory della Piet? dei Turchini, to which Salvatore Di Giacomo dedicated one of his best pages. In the seventeenth century, in agreement with the times more open to the social aspects and more sensitive towards the new serious opera -Melodramma, the Conservatory ?place of reception for abandoned children ? took a new turn and its studies became exquisitely music studies, and it began to be a real source of musicians and singers who made Naples an extraordinary pole of culture. The palace, which over the centuries renewed many times its form, changed its destination after the last restoration interventions, without losing its original sense of hospitality, the elegance and sobriety of rooms harmonize themselves today with an advanced technology, golden marbles mix with valuable wood and refined furnishings, in order to make the stay more harmonious. Palazzo Turchini represents the centre of the intricate city road network. From it one can admire the Gardens of the Royal Palace, or the Fountain of Neptune, as well as the Church dell Incoronata, that is slightly under the street level after that the King Alfonso I of Aragon enclosed with a moat the castle Castel Nuovo ? better known as Maschio Angioino -, whose embattled outline which dominates the Municipio square and the Port can be seen, too. Crossing streets and squares rich in history one easily reaches the historical and artistic hearth of the city, where the Greek, Roman, medieval, Renaissance and Baroque past of Naples is stratified. Also the contiguous church Chiesa dell?Incoronatella, which was annexed to the ancient Conservatory dei figliuoli Turchini too, is one of the most significant monuments of the Neapolitan art between Naturalism and Baroque.
