Naples Cultural Renaissance: From Materdei to the Duomo

Revitalizing central Naples, the Fondazione Morra Greco and Fondazione Donnaregina are collaborating on a new metro-museum station designed by Massimiliano Fuksas. Since 2005, the Fondazione Donnaregina has managed the Madre museum located in Palazzo Donnaregina, currently featuring Jimmie Durham's inaugural Italian retrospective, which runs until April 10 and includes over 150 pieces. The Farmacia degli Incurabili, part of Ospedale degli Incurabili, reopened its doors in 2012, maintaining its 18th-century shelves and Baroque artwork. After restoring Palazzo Caracciolo di Avellino, Fondazione Morra Greco resumed its activities in the summer of 2019. The Duomo metro station, created by Fuksas and Doriana Mandrelli, is included in the Museo Aperto della Metropolitana, while Dante station displays works by Kounellis and Pistoletto, alongside street art by Cyop & Kaf in Quartieri Spagnoli.
