Visit the Museo di Capodimonte with its masterpieces from the Farnese and Borbone collections. The museum preserves also a series of paintings coming from Neapolitan churches, among them two works by Caravaggio.
Admire the Farnese collection, started by Alessandro Farnese (later Pope Paul III), which has two branches: the Roman collection with artworks by Raphael, Sebastiano Del Piombo, Titian, El Greco, the Carracci brothers, and Botticelli and the Parmesan collection - important Flemish paintings and works by painters from the Emilia region.
The Farnese collection was inherited by Charles of Bourbon, and was enriched over the course of two centuries with important acquisitions from the Bourbon age, forming what now is named the âCollezione Borbone.â
