Treasure of San Gennaro: how to get tickets?

, Museum Tickets

Museo del Tesoro di San Gennaro

Centuries and centuries of devotion to the patron saint of the Neapolitan city, San Gennaro, have led to the creation of a veritable treasure trove, housed in the museum of the same name, which has been open to the public since 2003. To visit the Treasure of San Gennaro, tickets can be purchased conveniently online while planning your trip to Naples. Among the city’s various monuments, you cannot miss a visit to the Duomo, whose Royal Chapel is dedicated to San Gennaro and represents the Neapolitans’ strong bond with their patron saint. And to see an alternative version of the city, the underground Naples route gives a glimpse of what once existed on the streets of the historic centre.

There are lost works in the Herculaneum library that only technology will be able to resurface from oblivion. Indeed, art and culture have a fascinating way of intertwining with science, especially when it comes to revealing the mysteries of the past. In
recent times, we have witnessed a true technological miracle, thanks to which ancient words imprinted on fragile papyrus scrolls have been unearthed. These scrolls, witnesses to a forgotten era, perhaps contain literary works that could change our understanding of history.
Here is the story of the works housed in the charred library at Herculaneum.

THE PORTRAIT OF CARAVAGGIO AT THE ROYAL PALACE OF NAPLES

If you visit the Royal Palace in Naples, don’t forget to look for Caravaggio’s portrait, which can be found in one of the oldest frescoed vaults in the palace.

The artist who frescoed the vault, and who painted the portrait of the great master, is Battistello Caracciolo. One of the most important 17th century Neapolitan artists, who more than any other incorporated Caravaggio’s teachings when he came to Naples.
