These are some photos that I took this afternoon, while I was waiting for a customer of mine to free himself to receive me.
They portray the Baronial Palace and Piazza Maione of Villaricca, a town near Naples.
The square is dedicated to the pilot captain Giuseppe Maione, originally from the place. The unfortunate soldier lost his life in an accident that occurred on April 18, 1939 during an exercise on the airfield of Mondovì (Turin).
The palace dates back to the 15th century and was commissioned by Baron Giovanni Antonio Parisio. The nobleman was recently the protagonist of a diatribe, as it is believed that he was actually a marquis and that he had purchased that title. At the time, however, he was the head of the village of Panecoclo, as Villaricca was known in ancient times.
The Palace was also used as a fortress and at 30 meters deep there are the dungeons, which served both as a refuge and as prisons.
The day was really beautiful and I could not help taking some photos to portray the trees in the square and the sky animated by some clouds.
Some renovations were being carried out in the square and unfortunately this is visible in the photos.
But I believe that the beauty and history of these structures goes further and always comes out in every context.
I hope you enjoyed my post, any suggestions from experienced users of the platform are welcome.
Greetings to all and see you soon!
