Description
Majestic and imposing, this is how Castel Nuovo presents itself, better known as Maschio Angioino, the fortress and residence built by Charles I of Anjou around 1280; it is the first bastion of the gulf of Naples on whose coasts the siren Parthenope, daughter of the muse Terpsichore, found her death turning into a rock after the disappointment suffered by Ulysses. In Naples Partenope was worshipped as a patron goddess but in the modern age she began to be used as an emblem of the lascivious nature of the southerners. Tedora dedicated this beautiful hand-chiseled charm to it An original reminder of the magical atmosphere of the Neapolitan capital.
