Palazzo Carafa di Roccella, Renaissance palace in Chiaia district, Naples, Italy

The palace features a symmetrical neoclassical facade with three floors, an open atrium, and a patio overlooking the garden.

Francesco di Sangro, Prince of San Severo, gifted the villa-palace to his brother-in-law Giuseppe Carafa in 1667, marking the beginning of Carafa ownership.

The palace hosted a literary salon led by Ippolita Cantelmo Stuart, wife of Vincenzo Maria III Carafa, gathering intellectuals and artists.

The building underwent a 20-million-euro restoration, concluding in 2004 with the establishment of the Palace of Arts Naples, open for public visits.

The palace survived a demolition attempt in 1964 when Mario Ottieri tried to replace it with new buildings, but local residents prevented the destruction.
