Villa Volpicelli, Monumental seaside villa in Posillipo, Italy
Villa Volpicelli features two large merlature towers facing Riva Fiorita, with one extending onto the sea and a palace with castle-style battlements.
Built in the 1600s, the villa appears in Baratta's 1629 map and served as a military barracks during the Bourbon period before Raffaele Volpicelli acquired it.
The villa gained widespread recognition as Palazzo Palladini through the television series Un Posto al Sole, which films exterior scenes at this location since 2004.
Access to Villa Volpicelli is possible by descending Via Ferdinando Russo from Via Posillipo, connecting the hill directly to the seafront location.
The villa's five-level terraced park contains an English garden with Mediterranean vegetation and extends toward the sea, bordering the grounds of Villa Rosebery.
