Ovo

Perfect as a magic formula

Legend has it that the poet Virgil, a magician according to the Neapolitans, hid a magical egg in the castle that stands on an islet in front of the city. By breaking the egg, the castle would collapse, and with it the whole city. No one has ever managed to find it but, if Naples is still standing, it means the egg is still safe inside the castle. A suite with a magical atmosphere, emphasized by the works it houses: the acrylic and oil painting by Ludovico Fusco and the bas-relief by Daniele Pergreffi reveal to guests the secret hiding place of the egg, while the sculpture by Stefano Parisio Perrotti shows the importance of myth for the Neapolitan people.
