Palazzo dello Spagnolo
The palace was built starting in 1738 by the will of the Marquis of Poppano, Nicola Moscati, unifying the two previous buildings received with his wife’s dowry. The project is traditionally attributed to the architect Ferdinando Sanfelice. The building is characterized by its original staircase called wing hawk. The interior and exterior were lavishly adorned with a stucco decoration brand clearly Rococo, created by Aniello Prezioso design by Francesco Attanasio in 1742.
The access doors to the apartments are topped sovraporte stucco, with a central medallion with portrait busts.
