The charm of living in a historic residence that holds the famous horse head sculpture by the prestigious Donatello.
Palazzo Carafa Santangelo housed one of the city’s most famous artworks: the bronze horse head statue, generated by the universal genius of Donatello and gifted by Lorenzo the Magnificent to Diomede Carafa, who placed it in the courtyard of his palace, known for centuries as ‘the palace of the bronze horse.’
It is impossible not to gaze upon this unique and rare masterpiece at least once. It represents the artistic splendor of our country and the passions of those who lived there.
Today, the bronze piece is displayed at the MANN, the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, where its presence enriches the museum experience.
You can admire every carefully sculpted detail, revealing the artist’s mastery and sensitivity.
The Horse Head conveys a sense of power and grace.
Choosing to stay in such a unique residence and in a such privileged location, will give you a sense of belonging that will remain forever printed in your memory.
