Capodrise Mondo Palace - House Museum

The Capodrise Mondo Palace (House Museum), from the second half of the century. XVIII, is an example of stylistic transition between the rococo taste and the neoclassical taste of archaeological inspiration. The apartment on the first floor, fragmentarily preserved, is full of suggestions.

You can visit a rococo living room frescoed on the walls and on the vault, the dining room, a room dedicated to the Vanvitellian projects of the Royal Palace of Caserta, a study painted in yellow and decorated with Etruscan borders, a bedroom with walls painted in Pompeian red and old-fashioned borders, a prayer room.

On the frescoed vault of the Rococo living room, you can admire the architectural perspectives painted by the Magri brothers, set painters of the Bibiena school, and in the corners recognize the allegorical figures painted by the painter Domenico Mondo (Capodrise 1723 – Naples 1806), depicting the Cardinal Virtues ( Faith, Hope, Charity) and the Theological Virtues (Fortitude, Prudence, Justice, Temperance).

The painter Domenico Mondo, trained in Naples in the workshop of the famous Francesco Solimena, lived in Capodrise until 1789, the year in which he was appointed, together with the neoclassical painter Wilhelm Tischbein, director of the Royal Academy of Drawing in Naples.

A single color trait and a nostalgic atmosphere outline the physiognomy of the garden courtyard, enclosed between high tuff walls and rustic rooms on the ground floor.
