Villa Doria d'Angri, Neoclassical villa in Posillipo, Naples, Italy.

The villa stands on a large tuff bank with three levels of arcades adorned with stucco decorations supporting an expansive terrace around the structure.

Prince Marcantonio Doria d'Angri commissioned architect Bartolomeo Grasso to transform a former farmhouse into this neoclassical residence, completed in 1833.

The interior spaces feature Pompeian-style decorations by Guglielmo Bechi, incorporating mirrors, majolica tiles, and intricate stucco work throughout the rooms.

The University of Naples Parthenope now operates from Villa Doria d'Angri, offering guided tours and hosting academic conferences in this historical setting.

Composer Richard Wagner resided at the villa in 1880, writing his autobiography and working on his final opera Parsifal in the Hall of Mirrors.
