The Civic Museum "Gaetano Filangieri" is a private museum located in Naples, in the fifteenth century Como Palace. The Museum reopened in 2012, after 13 years of closure, thanks to the Association "Save the Filangieri Museum". The idea of the Museum was born thanks to Gaetano Filangieri, Satriano's Prince, who in 1881 proposed to sell his art collection in Como Palace, a rare example of Tuscan Renaissance architecture in Naples. In 1943, many works were destroyed by the Germans, in a devastating fire. In 1948 the Filangieri was reopened to the public thanks to the generous donations of Filippo Perrone, Mario De Ciccio, Salvatore Romano and the temporary storage of the Capodimonta National Museum. The collection has more than 3.000 objects, from various sources and dating: examples of applied arts (ceramics, porcelains, ivories, weapons and armor, medals), paintings and sculptures from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, shepherds crib from the eighteenth and the nineteenth century, a library of about 30.000 volumes and an archive with documents from the thirteenth to the nineteenth century. The gallery has paintings of the seventeenth century, with works by Jusepe de Ribera, Luca Giordano, Andrea Vaccaro, Battistello Caracciolo and Mattia Preti.
