La Casina Vanvitelliana at Lake Fusaro (Naples)

La Casina Vanvitelliana

The Casina Vanvitelliana was built in the 1782 da Carlo Vanvitelli, son of Luigi Vanvitelli, the architect of the Palace of Caserta, at the request of Ferdinand IV of Bourbon.

It is located on a small island on the Lake Fusaro of Bacoli and is connected to the mainland through a wooden pier. Basically, it is a real casino then made for hunting and fishing purposes.
The architecture, composed of geometric shapes, large windows and terraces, then joined to the mirror of water that frames it, makes the villa particularly charming and evocative.

Famous men were guests of the house, such as Rossini, Mozart and the President of the Republic Luigi Einaudi.
