Casa Latina
In the heart of the ancient center of Naples, in Vico Cinquesanti, a few steps from the forum/agora of Neapolis, now Piazza San Gaetano, it lies on the ancient structures of the Greek-Roman theatre*.
The renovation carried out by the architects and managers has preserved its ancient soul, through the valorisation and recovery of the original construction and material elements. Furnishings and objects drawn from the rich artisanal and iconographic heritage of the place propose, in the two levels of the house, the overlapping of the Roman Catholic church on the ancient Latin structures of the Greco-Roman city, in a sedimentary Naples which offers a layer for each era while maintaining its genius loci .
On the lower floor, to recall the theater below, tragic and comic terracotta masks, masks of Pulcinella, according to some a descendant of Maccus, a character from the ancient Atellan comedies, amphorae, jars, mosaics, collections of statuettes from the Roman pantheon and terracotta amphorae . The “Cave canem” and “Cave felem” rooms, inspired by the Latin domus, with the higher central part, the intimate alcoves veiled by curtains and the walls in yellow Neapolitan tuff. On the upper floor, embellished with ancient wooden ceilings, the "Sancti" room decorated with incense burners, terracottas and watercolors depicting the saints dear to the Neapolitan people and to whom the alley is named, and the "Aquae benedictae" room adorned with ceramic stoups. Here the type of beds is of the tatami type.
A delightful terrace offers a beautiful perspective of the alley, immersed in its atmosphere.
