 💎An 18th-Century Neapolitan Dream: The Architecture of Palazzo Trabucco👑✨

👑 The Trabucco Palace, in Naples, is an important historical and architectural landmark located on via San Liborio. Commissioned by Tomaso Trabucco, a wealthy merchant, to Nicola Tagliacozzi Canale in the 18th century, it represents a typical example of civil architecture of the time. 

👑The building, spread over five floors, features a rich local Baroque decoration with hints of Rococo. The facade focuses on the piperno portal made by Antonio Saggese, with an original lattice of curls and leaves. 

👑The structure follows the typical scheme of Naples with a portal, vestibule, and courtyard, where there is a standout open staircase with stepped arches and decorations inspired by foliage. The central openings feature stucco cartouches as ornaments.

🧐Curiosities about Nicola Tagliacozzi Canale (architect)

He is one of the most prominent followers of Ferdinando Sanfelice and is often credited as one of the inventors of the open staircase (scala aperta), a feature that became a trademark of Neapolitan Baroque architecture. The staircase at Palazzo Trabucco is a condensed and spectacular example of this design, showcasing a scenic effect of "solids and voids" through its stepped arches and pilasters.
