It is interesting to see how a wealthy family lived at the end of the 19th century.
The palace, which is 'fully furnished as it was at the end of 800, offers all the necessary comfort to live comfortably and civilly, pending the' advent of the automobile and electricity.
Sometimes money and good taste can do without great inventions.

Park of Villa Pignatelli the only green lung in the city center (as a Neapolitan I am ashamed to mention the Villa Comunale now reduced to indescribable conditions).
it is a point of reference for our small children also because with controlled entrance.
I point out an unpleasant episode that happened this morning to my 2 year old grandson accompanied by his baby sitter
At the entrance of the park-museum the ticket clerk (whom I thank very much for the "carelessness" shown towards the powerful vehicle) did not wisely stop the entrance of the tricycle bike on which the child was traveling (NB NO PEDALS!)
unfortunately this was noticed in the park and after a series of poorly educational dialectical performances against the babysitter and child with the intervention of the director (had nothing to do?) the child was forbidden to use the powerful vehicle and. ..... not happy boy and baby sitter were guarded until the exit from a henchman trained by the management with blackmail half seizure.
to you readers the comment and a heartfelt thanks to this shameful staff Villa Pignatelli

Even in this wonderful place, when you pay for the ticket, you are not given any paper support to guide you inside the building / museum. It's true, you pay 5.00 per person, however, as is the case abroad, it would be preferable for there to be a small pamphlet that guides the visitor a bit.

Inside we find very well-kept furnishings and fine materials. What amazed me were the visits that the princess received during her stay in the villa. The photos are kept in a room of the villa and almost all refer to Royal families.

The menus written in French that accompanied the gala dinners were also nice. The villa consists of apartments where, on the ground floor, all the rooms of the house are located, the room dedicated to carriages, outside the villa but always inserted in the museum complex, and finally the second floor it hosts (when we visited the villa there was nothing on display) various pictorial expositions.

It is certainly an experience to do, given that you are a stone's throw away from a promenade envied by many.

A beautiful museum located in the center of the Chiaia Riviera. The villa was built in 1826 by Admiral Ferdinando Acton in the neoclassical style, with pavilions next to it. On his death in 1841 he was bought by the banker Carl von Rothschild, and later sold in 1867 to the prince Diego Aragona Pignatelli who had the interior furnishings arranged. In 1952 it was donated to the state provided everything remained as it was.
The interiors of the villa are lovely, and the park is wonderful. There is also the collection of historical carriages and harnesses located in the building next to the park.

A surprise to find a few steps from the center and the promenade the historic Villa Pignatelli full of art and culture immersed in a park of majestic and secular trees. The rooms of the Villa are well set up and furnished, with displays of rare and valuable objects, a sign of a glorious past. Noteworthy is the rich and varied display of vintage carriages and harnesses and accessories in two buildings apart from the Museum.

The visit to the Pignatelli Museum is a real immersion in beauty and refinement. The villa was inhabited by the Rotschild and the Pignatelli princes who left this immense artistic heritage to the state and, therefore, to the city of Naples. Gentlemen also the museum staff who guide the visitor also providing details on different environments.

The museum is worth visiting (even if the carriage museum is temporarily closed).
It is well cared for although the museum is not one of the city's attractive cultural hubs.

Too bad the staff on the ground floor: they spoke aloud to each other in the museum and some of them are even rude.
