Cultural heritage in Naples: palazzo Cassano Ayerbo d’Aragona

As part of the Neapolitan Cultural Heritage, Palazzo Ayerbo Cassano d’Aragona is a historical building of considerable architectural value. For many years the building has been in a serious state of abandonment and is currently owned by the well-known Neapolitan gallery owner, Giuseppe Morra, who has rehabilitated the palace into the Archive of Contemporary Art. In this sense, Giuseppe Morra opened a new museum, Casa Morra in Naples, in Palazzo Cassano Ayerbo d’Aragona, that will gradually be refurbished to house the large Morra’s collection. The scientific interest in the study of Palazzo Cassano Ayerbo d’Aragona is recent, and the research is developed based on the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Fondazione Morra and the Department of Architecture and Industrial Design of the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” to not only collaborate scientifically with the aim of producing critical knowledge on the constructive vicissitudes of the staircase and Palazzo Cassano Ayerbo d’Aragona, but also to carry out initiatives that will positively influence the cultural growth of the territory.
