Palazzo Pignatelli di Monteleone, Naples, 16th-century palace in Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, Naples, Italy.

The palace features a grand entrance portal constructed with alternating white and piperno marble, flanked by columns with expressive mask capitals.

The Pignatelli family of Monteleone commissioned architect Giovanni Vincenzo Della Monica to construct this residence during the late 1500s in central Naples.

During the 1800s, the palace hosted numerous social gatherings, where notable figures including the adventurer Casanova participated in Neapolitan high society.

The palace stands at Calata Trinità Maggiore 53, accessible via Dante metro station with a five-minute walk through Via Toledo and Via Cisterna dell'Olio.

A marble plaque on the facade commemorates the frequent visits of painter Edgar Degas, whose grandfather Rene Hilary Degas acquired the property.
