Meeting with the Guide at a prearranged meeting point in Naples.
Since the thirties of the seventeenth century, the powers - the Roman Church, triumphant on heresy, the absolute monarchies of Europe - are beginning to entrust the representation of their greatness to the baroque. All the techniques are put to the service of art as a tool of persuasion, propaganda, representation: architecture,
sculpture, painting, music come together for a great theater show.
In Naples, the Baroque is different mainly because it relies on a particular taste for decoration, for the use of colored materials in architecture and sculpture. In the architecture of the Neapolitan baroque artists seek effects of contrast between white walls and cornices, columns in gray volcanic stone and inlaid colored marble.
