Neo-Gothic palazzo with a tower in Capodimonte, home of the doctor Ferdinando Palasciano, a forerunner of the Red Cross.

On salita Moiariello, on the Capodimonte hill, rises the Palasciano tower, the residence built for Ferdinando Palasciano and his wife Olga Vavilow.Palasciano, a doctor and surgeon, is considered a forerunner of the Red Cross: he was the first to argue that the wounded in war should be treated regardless of their flag. The tower dominates the panorama of the city.
