History of Art

To appreciate Art you must know deeply its History This parallel interest occurs with reciprocity between the different arts and cultures.

The idea stems from the belief that every person who grows passionately a certain artistic interest, in music, art in general, painting, literature, philosophy and so on, feeling a particular pleasure making recognize that interest as much as possible in society
To convey those interests to those who can both understand and share and being curious and eager to learn more about them wearing an obje

ct, a dress or decorating your apartment with objects, furniture and textiles by which these passions arise, this is the goal of our project. History of Music stems so that a passionate about art can understand deeply its value , importance and the details and the nuances only if it knows the changes that this art has undergone in time and in its history. The art lover is often attracted by everything that revolves around it, by literature and music that continue to be the reason and the inspiration for the best compositions. Argue and depict in the objects what we are going to make parallels between the arts, events, particulary, featurares, special emblems, this will be a further way that we will take to achieve activities that will take structural and economic form, but that is both a tool to spread art and culture. Our parallel goal will be always to donate a portion of the proceeds with documentation to agencies or charities who need aid.

Studio Andrea Neri - Grey Gold - 2012

A hand-carved gray tuff brick was conceived as a silent counterpoint to a pre-existing work: a tribal collar, an archaic symbol of status and wealth.

In Naples, tuff is more than just material: it is a cultural foundation. The city stands on tuff and was built with it. Gray tuff, now rare, embodies the value of a collective and popular heritage, transfiguring itself as a symbol of prosperity.

The two works, juxtaposed, generate a dialogue.
Not between eras or styles, but between concepts: well-being, identity, belonging.

New archaeological finds emerge from the metro C construction site in Rome.

Piazza Venezia offers a complex overview that allows for an exploration of the topography of central Rome. The project, conducted under the scientific direction of the Special Superintendency of Rome, is proceeding in full synergy with Metro C and Roma Metropolitane, without delays compared to the scheduled timeframe. Today's news is the discovery of an extraordinary stratigraphy that reveals buildings dating back to the late Republican period, imperial residences, medieval structures, and the remains of modern buildings demolished in the 19th and 20th centuries. The finds from this summer of 2025 are still being investigated and studied by archaeologists coordinated by the excavation's scientific director, Marta Baumgartner.

🏛️ A Journey Through Time at Museo Archeologico di Napoli with History of Naples

The National Archaeological Museum of Naples is widely recognized as one of the world’s foremost archaeological institutions, founded in the late 18th century and officially opened to the public in 1816 . Built into the former Bourbon palace in Naples, it chronicles the ancient civilizations of Greece, Magna Graecia, Rome, and Egypt, with a special focus on artifacts excavated from Pompeii, Herculaneum, Stabiae, and beyond .

🖼️ Signature Collections
• Farnese Collection: A breathtaking assembly of Roman and Greek masterpieces—from the colossal Farnese Bull and Atlas Farnese to statues such as the Tyrannicides, Venus Callipyge, and Antinous Farnese .
• Pompeii & Herculaneum Galleries: Explore mosaics (like the Dioskurides and Alexander mosaics), frescoes, everyday objects, and casts of victims that vividly depict life—and disaster—in the Vesuvian cities .
• Egyptian Collection: Italy’s second most important Egyptian holdings after Turin, featuring mummies, stelae, and funerary art from both private collections and Bourbon-era excavations .
• Gabinetto Segreto (Secret Room): A secluded exhibit housing first-century erotic artifacts from Pompeii and Herculaneum—once forbidden, now revealing Roman attitudes toward sensuality .
• Model of Pompeii (Plastico di Pompei): A remarkable 1:100 cork model depicting Pompeian excavations up to WWII, showcasing buildings and artworks now lost or damaged .

🏛️ More Highlights
• Numismatic Treasury: Over 100,000 coins spanning Magna Graecia to the Kingdom of Naples, offering a deep dive into Mediterranean economic history .
• Mosaics & Frescoes: The world’s richest collection of Roman frescoes, plus many mosaics organized by style, theme, and origin—including mythological and everyday motifs .
