A masterpiece of Neapolitan Art Nouveau on Via Filangieri, built between 1909 and 1911, famous for its elliptical staircase.

On Via Filangieri, in Chiaia, Palazzo Mannajuolo is one of the most successful examples of Neapolitan Art Nouveau (Liberty). It was designed by Giulio Ulisse Arata and built between 1909 and 1911 in reinforced concrete, a very modern technique at the time.Its wonder is the elliptical staircase, which spirals upwards around itself and is often used as a film set. Let's peer through the entrance to admire it.
