The Arts Institute found temporary accommodation in a wing of the Palazzo degli Studio which subsequently became an Archaeological Museum. In 1863, a new location was found for the Institute as part of the renovation of the Fosse del Grano (the wheat stores). The building of Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli represents one of the most significant projects of Alvino's career. The construction which began in 1864, was completed after Alvino's death by his student Giuseppe Pisanti, who signed the monumental stairway in 1880.
The museum of Villa Pignatelli is housed in Naples. One of the most striking things about the villa is its placement, as it lies along with Riviera di Chiaia. Dating back to the 19th Century, the villa was commissioned by Ferdinand Acton. Designed in the neo-classical style of architecture, the villa sports many beautiful architectural elements, including intricate detailing and exquisite carvings. Enclosing a beautiful bed of gardens, the villa is home to some rare art collection depicting French and English wagons.
Destined to house porcelain production, the Reggia di Capodimonte building was constructed on expansive grounds by Ferdinando Fuga in 1743. The porcelain drawing-room belonging to Queen Amalia of Saxony was established in 1759. Today, the many rooms display collections of porcelain and china from the Real Fabbrica di Capodimonte, collections of coins and weapons, medieval armor, and Flemish tapestries. The Picture Gallery includes works by the best known painters from Naples, Italy and abroad—Masaccio, Simone Martini, Masolino, Botticelli, Raffaello, Bellini, Tiziano, Caravaggio, Reni, Schedoni, Cavallino, Preti, Giordano, Witz, Breughel, El Grec and Goya.
