Villa Leonetti, Historic villa in Vomero district, Naples, Italy
Villa Leonetti sits on Via Aniello Falcone in an elevated location and features a sculpted gray piperno portal beside a yellow tuff wall. Terraced gardens surround the structure and connect the complex to the neighborhoods below.
The villa grew from a merging of different properties, with a portal incorporated from a demolished palace. This blend reflects how local residences were reshaped and expanded across generations.
The villa displays a grand entrance portal that preserves memories from a neighboring building that no longer stands. Visitors can see how the past has been woven into the walls of this family residence.
The property sits in an elevated area of the neighborhood that is reachable on foot but involves some steps. From this position, visitors can look out over the city and understand the buildings around it.
A tower from the 1600s stands within the complex and was designed as a lookout post. This unexpected feature shows how residences on this hilltop also served defensive purposes.
