Palazzo Giusso, Renaissance palace in historic Naples, Italy
The palace features a grand courtyard with arches supported by sculpted piperno pillars, a decorative staircase, and composite pilaster facades spanning four floors.
Construction began in 1549 under Giovanni da Nola's design for Alonso Sánchez de Luna, following his purchase of the property from Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba.
Cardinal Ascanio Filomarino established a Vesuvian Cabinet within the palace, collecting volcanic rocks and texts during the seventeenth century.
The palace currently houses the University of Naples L'Orientale's Department of Human and Social Sciences at Largo San Giovanni Maggiore 30.
The ceiling of Aula Matteo Ripa displays a fresco titled 'Hercules at the Crossroads' painted by Giuseppe Cammarano.
