Meet your guide

The tour starts from Piazza Monteoliveto, in front of the Fountain of Carlo II. From here we enter the Greek city, through the magnificent Piazza del Gesù, and head straight to the aristocratic Palazzo Venezia, where our musical and gastronomic experience will start!

Private Neapolitan Music Concert

19^th century Napoli was a city of art and culture. Aristocrats and the rising bourgeoisie used to host salons to discuss art, music, and politics. Traditionally, these events (Salotto, in Italian) took place in the halls of aristocratic palaces, with live music, coffee, and pastry.

Celeste has recreated the magic of traditional salotto, with a private concert inspired by those of the 19th century.  Our Maestro will introduce you to the classical age of Neapolitan music. In the meantime, our pastry chef will offer you a selection of the most popular desserts of Neapolitan tradition, served with coffee, tea, fresh orange juice, prosecco, and digestive liquor.

Baroque churches

Once well-fed and captured by the magic of the private concert we will head to the Church of Gesu Nuovo, and learn about the mysterious symbols on the facade. We will also discover the traditional practice of ex-voto: silver representations of parts of the body offered to the saints to receive grace. Next, we will head to the church of San Domenico, one of the finest examples of Baroque style.

Tour o Cappella San Severo

Finally, we shall head over to Cappella San Severo, the highlight of this tour. This family chapel was built by Prince Raimondo di Sangro, it has inspired hundreds of legends and mysterious tales due to the alchemic passion of its creator. Besides the legends, Cappella San Severo truly is a masterpiece of Baroque sculpture! The Veiled Christ, a sculpture located in the center of the chapel, is an incredible piece of art! For centuries, the marble veil covering the body of Jesus was thought to be made by some mysterious technique that transforms linen into stone.
