It was a heyday for the city of the gulf, the one that goes from 1266 to 1381, the years when the city became for the first time, with the French family, a capital among the largest and most populous of Europe and the well-being poured on several fronts, thanks to the economic trade between the Mediterranean and European regions and urban planning, which was followed by construction of numerous sacred buildings such as the church of San Lorenzo, the Duomo, Santa Clara, St. Dominic and St. Maria la Nova.

But still, a strong impetus was given to the world of art with creative input of new artists arrived in the city, including impossible not to mention painters such as Giotto, Lello Orvieto, Simone Martini, or talented sculptors and considerable literary such as Petrarca and Boccaccio, and legend has it that the latter fell in love with the beloved Fiammetta, just between the streets of the city on the Gulf, and that she was none other than Maria d’Aquino, illegitimate daughter of King Robert.
So in this enthralling whirlwind of love, poetry and art that invaded the city of Partenope under the regency side of the Alps, not marvel at the many examples of valuable exhibition, thirty specimens.
