Palazzo Ruffo della Scaletta, 17th-century palace on Riviera di Chiaia, Naples, Italy
The palace features an octagonal staircase crowned by a dome, embellished with neoclassical stuccoes and marble statues throughout its interior spaces.
Initially built for the Carafa family, the palace underwent major neoclassical renovations between 1832 and 1835 under engineer Francesco Saverio Ferrari's direction.
The palace includes rooms with preserved frescoes by Salvatore Giusti and stucco decorations from the Bechi renovation period on its mezzanine level.
The Association of Construction Builders completed restoration work in 2022, including repairs to exterior facades and decorative elements in the atrium.
The palace once contained a private zoo with exotic animals and hosted hunting expeditions in its grounds during Tiberio Carafa's ownership.
