The Pignatelli Cortes Museum is located in the middle of the lively avenues of Naples, just a few minutes' walk from the Villa Comunale, and transports visitors to an era of noble elegance, surrounded by a large ensemble of artistic masterpieces.

Villa Pignatelli is a tribute to the Neapolitan aristocracy of the 19th century. The villa was built for the Acton family and later belonged to the Pignatelli family, reflecting the opulent taste of the city's aristocratic elite. The neoclassical design, gardens and opulent interiors convey a vivid image of a bygone era with grand balls, courtly affairs and parties.
