Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano

The Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano is a Baroque palace located on Via Toledo number 185 in the quartiere San Ferdinando of central Naples, Italy. It is also called the Palazzo Zevallos or Palazzo Colonna di Stigliano, and from 2014 until 2022 served as a museum of artworks, mainly spanning the 17th through the early 20th centuries, sponsored by the Cultural Project of the bank Intesa Sanpaolo. This museum, now at former Headquarters of the Banco di Napoli in via Toledo, is linked to the Museum or Gallerie di Piazza Scala in Milan and the Museum at Palazzo Leoni Montanari in Vicenza, also owned by the Bank. History The palace was commissioned by Giovanni Zevallos, Duke of Ostuni. The palace was built between 1637 and 1639 after a design by Cosimo Fanzago. The palace was damaged during the 1646 Revolution of Masaniello, and in 1653 sold to the Flemish merchant Jan van den Eynde, at the time one of the richest men in Naples. Jan van den Eynde and his son Ferdinand wholly renovated the palace, with the help of the architect-friar Bonaventura Presti.. Collections Among the works contained in the gallery are: The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula by Caravaggio, thought to be his final work Judith and Holofernes, attributed to Louis Finson, which may be a copy of a Caravaggio original Holy Family with St Francis of Assisi, by Angelo Caroselli Christ and the Adulturess by Bernardo Cavallino San Giorgio by Francesco Guarini Adoration by the Magi attributed to Master of the Annunciation to the Shepherds Tobias heals his father's blindness by Hendrick de Somer Two still-life canvases.
