Museo civico Gaetano
Filangieri
Despite the destruction caused to the Museum and its collection by Second
World War
bombardment, visitors are still able to admire a vast and heterogeneous
assortment of
artifacts which testify to the ample and varied culture of the prince.
In addiction to the pinacoteca, which hosts many pieces of work
by active neapolitan artists between '500 and '800, a conspicuous collection
of applied arts, gowns, fabrics, oriental and european armouries, chinawares
and a noticeable numismatic collection can be viewed.
Parchmens and manuscripts complete the patrimony of the library, which
counts
around 15000 volumes of great value. The floor in the Agata hall,
representing the coats of arms and the initials of the Filangieri lineage
attest the strong bond established between the Museo civico and the A.I.M.
