The symbolic work of the day

To accompany the celebration of Landscape Day, the museum has chosen the painting as its representative image “View of Naples from Capodimonte” (1813) of the French painter Alexandre-Hyacinthe Dunouy.

The work shows the city observed from the Capodimonte hill and recounts the urban transformation of the era. At the center of the composition appears the Napoleon Street, today identifiable between Via Santa Teresa and Corso Amedeo di Savoia, built at the beginning of the nineteenth century to connect the Royal Palace with the city centre.

The painting also offers a glimpse of the Palace of Capodimonte still under construction, providing a precious historical testimony to the evolution of the Neapolitan landscape.

The appointments are organized on the occasion of international days dedicated to the environment, with educational activities, themed walks, and moments of discussion open to the community.

The project is realized through the collaboration between the company Euphorbia Srl and the associative network WCN – Wellbeing Co‑working Network, with the contribution of the association N'Sea Yet, active in the themes of blue and green economy.
