Invitation to the Palace, Saturday, Oct. 5 from 10 am to 7 pm: the doors of the most beautiful palaces of Italian banks and their art collections are opened with entry and free guided tours. In Naples, thanks to the initiative promoted by the Italian Banking Asociation, you can visit Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano (via Toledo 185) of Intesa Sanpaolo. In seventeenth-century building with large courtyard, transformed in the public hall, you enter through the magnificent portal surmounted by the coat of arms of the Colonna of Stigliano family. The building houses for the autumn of 2013 two exhibitions: a monograph of Gastone Novelli and a study of the Caravaggio by Louis Finson. But unfortunately you can not see the end of the season artistic masterpiece by Caravaggio: The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula, the last work painted by Michelangelo Merisi in 1610, just weeks before his tragic and lonely death. The rooms of the permanent art collection of Palazzo Zevallos are in fact subject to extension work that probably will end in December.[charme-gallery]
