Museo Pignatelli is a Neo-classical beauty, with its Doric columns catching your eye even from afar. It was built for Ferdinand Acton, who was the son of the prime minister of Naples at the time, and it has changed owners over the many decades since then. Today, Villa Pignatelli is a former home - and a museum, entirely intact. Rosina Pignatelli donated the villa to the state, including its many treasures that await your wondering gaze.

Among the pieces in its permanent collection, you can admire fine porcelain that has both local and foreign origins. Gingerly step into the Biblioteca, a leather-lined smoking room, and soak in the grandeur of this massive estate. You might feel wistful as you look at the silverware and intricate ornaments embellishing the rooms and hallways you step into. There's even a collection of beautiful French and English vehicles from the 18th and 19th centuries, found in the Museum of Carriages.
