Villa Ricciardi, Private villa in Vomero district, Naples, Italy.

Villa Ricciardi is a neoclassical villa in the Vomero district of Naples, built around 1817 on land taken from the Camaldolese and Dominican monks. Its park is now much smaller than the gardens, known as Hortus Camaldulensis, that once ran from the Camaldoli to Soccavo. Since 1956 it has housed the Istituto per non vedenti Domenico Martuscelli, and it stands at the junction of via Cilea, via Santo Stefano and via San Domenico.

Villa Ricciardi was built around 1817 for Francesco Ricciardi, a lawyer from Pistoia and minister of Joachim Murat, who granted him the title Count of Camaldoli, on land taken from Camaldolese and Dominican monks. On 15 May 1848 pro-Bourbon rioters sacked the villa and burned its library of 15,000 volumes and manuscripts. From 1949 to 1952 it housed the Hungarian writer Sándor Márai; since 1956 it has been the seat of the Istituto per non vedenti Domenico Martuscelli.

The villa's name comes from Francesco Ricciardi, a Pistoia-born lawyer and minister of Joachim Murat, who built it around 1817 on land taken from Camaldolese and Dominican monks. Before 1848 its salon, led by Giuseppe Ricciardi and Luisa Granito, gathered Neapolitan and foreign intellectuals; the poet Angelo Maria Ricci dedicated a poem to the villa.

Villa Ricciardi houses the Istituto per non vedenti Domenico Martuscelli, based there since 1956, so it is not a hotel and cannot be booked. Its park is much smaller than the original Hortus Camaldulensis. The building stands at the junction of via Cilea, via Santo Stefano and via San Domenico; before via Cilea was opened in 1949, the only approach was the old Via del Vomero, today via Belvedere.

From 1949 to 1952 the villa was home to the Hungarian writer Sándor Márai, who had emigrated after the communists came to power in his country. Since 1956 the building has housed the Istituto per non vedenti Domenico Martuscelli, a school and institute for the blind.
