  • Palazzo Zevallos

    On my daily walk through Via Toledo I always saw this advertisment for Caravaggios supposed last painting “Martirio di Sant’ Orsola” (The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula) at Palazzo Zevallos – as I always have been quite fascinated by the story of Saint Ursula and admire Caravaggios work I simply had to visit.

    At this time there was a music festival going on in Naples and as soon as I entered the Palazzo I was created by a piano concert and stopped some time to listen to the music (and admire the amazingly beautiful glass ceiling).

    Built in the late 1630ies the Palazzo was bought by the Banca Commerciale Italiana in the late 19th century and reconstructed (a marble staircase installed and the glass ceiling over the inner courtyard). Since 2014 it serves as a museum.

  • Quartieri Spagnoli

    This was kind of my daily route down to Via Toledo and back up to my apartement – straight through the spanish quarters (Quartieri Spagnoli). And every time there was something new to discover, shrines, murals, cute dogs, ladies selling something out of their kitchen window, kids on a Vespa, tiny little front gardens, tiny shops, people watching tv together,…

    Some days ago Dolce & Gabana transformed the narrow streets of Napoli into a catwalk for their “Alta Moda” show – what a perfect backdrop to present fashion!

  • Duomo at night

    After being brave enough to wander around the rooftop of the Duomo I spent some time on the Piazza waiting for the blue hour… it was time to say good bye to Milan on the next day I travelled south to Bari.milan, italy, at night, duomo milan, italy, at night, duomo milan, italy, at night, duomo
