BED AND BREAKFAST CARAFA di MADDALONI NAPLES ITALY

www.campaniapages.com.......More than 400 years ago on a famous road in Naples called "Spaccanapoli" one of the most incredible monumental buildings was built for a very important noble family and strongest in reign at the time, called the Dukes of Carafa Di Maddaloni.
The Dukes Diomede, Carlo and Marzio IV transformed their dimorra into a jewel of baroque art and a place of great beau monde, surrounding the dimorra with the most famous artists at the time. Giacomo Casanova, Cosimo Fanzago and Giacomo del Pò were guests of the noble patrons but it was because of music that the monumental building of Palazzo Di Carafa luminated in the ages. During the 600's and the 800's in the large ballroom for parties, they would organized operetta's and plays, serenades, concerts and in 1734 Giovanni Battista Pergolesi was hired at the service of Duke Marzio IV. The ballrooms of the building would resonate with the notes of the most famous concert performers of that time. Magaloff, Rubinstein, Hayfez are only a few of the names that performed in the ballrooms of Palazzo Di Carafa but the list could go on and on. The bombings of the second world war and the earthquake of 1980 harmed the monumental building tremendously. However, a part of the building has been completely restored and brought back to its splendor and annually hosts events and concerts at the highest of levels. Today, music has returned in the walls of Palazzo Di Caraffa and with the music, the guests, the musicians the events and art. Today anyone with the desire to relive the feel of the past can immerge oneself in the magic of this atmosphere, residing in the same walls and rooms that history for over 400 years has woven its tapestry.
