Palazzo Cellammare, Naples

The Palazzo Cellamare or Cellammare is a monumental palace located in via Chiaia 139 in the Quartiere San Ferdinando of Naples, Italy.

Giovanni Francesco's son Pier Luigi Carafa later commissioned Ferdinando Manlio to make the palace conform to the typical characteristics of its era.

[1] In the 18th century, it was acquired by the Prince of Cellamare, Antonio del Giudice, who hired Ferdinando Fuga to design the chapel between 1726 and 1727.

It later became the residence of the Spanish Michele Imperiali Simeana, Prince of Montena and Francavilla (d. 1782), a friend of Casanova, and avid collector of statuary.

[1] The palazzo contains ceiling frescoes by Giacomo del Po, Pietro Bardellino, Giacinto Diano, and Fedele Fischetti.
