Palazzo Serra di Cassano, Baroque palace in Monte di Dio district, Naples, Italy
The palace features dual portals opening onto twin curved stairways that rise above an octagonal courtyard with light-colored stone surfaces and arches.
Built in 1730 by architect Ferdinando Sanfelice for the Serra family, one of the 54 original noble families from Genoa with interests in banking.
The palace now houses the Italian Institute for Philosophical Studies, maintaining a connection between its historical grandeur and contemporary intellectual pursuits.
