Palazzo Barbaja, Naples

Palazzo Barbaja is a palace located on via Toledo of the quartiere San Ferdinando of Naples, Italy.

The palace was the home of Domenico Barbaja, a famous theater impresario of 19th century Naples.

Rossini had a contract with the Teatro del Fondo to write the music for the libretto of Francesco Berio Salsa to Otello.

Because of his dilatory progress, Rossini was almost imprisoned in his room until he finished the music.

The ground floor and the mezzanine are covered in ashlar blocks.
