In Posillipo, Villa Volpicelli is recognisable by its tall cylindrical tower, a remnant of the fortified palazzo of Pietro Santacroce, already shown in the 1629 view.It later passed to the Gagliardi family and to the State. Overlooking the sea, it is one of the most photographed images of the Posillipo coast, also famous as a television set.
