Filangieri Civic Museum, Renaissance art museum in Naples, Italy
The Filangieri Civic Museum sits within Palazzo Como, a Renaissance palace with a stone façade located on Via Duomo. The space houses over 2,500 objects spanning porcelain, archaeological finds, manuscripts, paintings, and weapons gathered over time by the Filangieri family.
The palace was built between 1464 and 1490 by architect Giuliano da Maiano as a key Renaissance work in Naples. In 1881 the entire structure was relocated backward by 20 meters to accommodate street expansion in the city.
The collection belonged to Prince Gaetano Filangieri di Satriano, whose family held influence in Naples for centuries. The objects on display reflect the tastes and daily life of the city's nobility, offering visitors a window into aristocratic culture as it actually existed.
The collection spreads across multiple levels, so plan time to walk through the entire space. Signage throughout is minimal, so visiting with a guide or printed map helps you navigate the rooms and find specific sections more easily.
The Agata Moncada room features earthenware flooring created by Naples's Industrial Artistic Museum. The Filangieri family crest is woven into the tile pattern, making this room visually distinct from others.
