Tis is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. A hedonic model for estimating the efects of transit systems on real estate values is specifed and calibrated for the city of Naples. Te model is used to estimate the external benefts concerning property values which may be attributed to the Naples metro at the present time and in two future scenarios. Te results show that only high-frequency metro lines have appreciable efects on real estate values, while low-frequency metro lines and bus lines produce no signifcant impacts. Our results show that the impacts on real estate values of the metro system in Naples are signifcant, with corresponding external benefts estimated at about 7.2 billion euros or about 8.5% of the total value of real estate assets. 1. Introduction lower environmental impacts produced by less use of private cars, investments in transit systems, especially in railways Urban transit systems play a fundamental role for the social and metros, may generate an appreciable increase in property and economic development of large urban areas, as well as values in the zones served; this beneft should be explicitly signifcantly afecting the quality of life in such areas.
  • The Business Organisation of the Bourbon Factories

    The Business Organisation of the Bourbon Factories

    The Business Organization of the Bourbon Factories: Mastercraftsmen, Crafts, and Families in the Capodimonte Porcelain Works and the Royal Factory at San Leucio Silvana Musella Guida Without exaggerating what was known as the “heroic age” of the reign of Charles of Bourbon of which José Joaquim de Montealegre was the undisputed doyen, and without considering the controversial developments of manufacturing in Campania, I should like to look again at manufacturing under the Bourbons and to offer a new point of view. Not only evaluating its development in terms of the products themselves, I will consider the company's organization and production strategies, points that are often overlooked, but which alone can account for any innovative capacity and the willingness of the new government to produce broader-ranging results.1 The two case studies presented here—the porcelain factory at Capodimonte (1740-1759) and the textile factory in San Leucio (1789-1860)—though from different time periods and promoted by different governments, should be considered sequentially precisely because of their ability to impose systemic innovations.2 The arrival of the new sovereign in the company of José Joaquin de Montealegre, led to an activism which would have a lasting effect.3 The former was au fait with economic policy strategy and the driving force of a great period of economic modernization, and his repercussions on the political, diplomatic and commercial levels provide 1 For Montealegre, cf. Raffaele Ajello, “La Parabola settecentesca,” in Il Settecento, edited by Giovanni Pugliese Carratelli (Naples, 1994), 7-79. For a synthesis on Bourbon factories, cf. Angela Carola Perrotti, “Le reali manifatture borboniche,” in Storia del Mezzogiorno (Naples, 1991), 649- 695.

    I Palazzi Di Napoli E Dintorni – Parte Seconda

    MARIO COLANGELO-Delegazione RAM di Benevento RICOSTRUZIONE DI UN PALAZZO NOBILIARE NAPOLETANO – II PARTE LE SCULTURE Per quanto riguarda l’apparato scultoreo dei singoli palazzi, le sculture dal XV al XVIII secolo non occupano in genere un ruolo preponderante all’interno delle varie dimore: l’esposizione delle stesse all’interno delle sale e delle gallerie non è diffusa o frequente, mentre sicuramente sono utilizzate in grande abbondanza come ornamento esterno, quale arricchimento di portali, terrazzi, nicchie aperte lungo i prospetti, balconi, cortili, giardini pensili, fontane, scale, ambulacri, corridoi, vestiboli e grotte manieristiche. Per quanto riguarda le sale vengono preferiti i bronzetti (sono giunti fino a noi, all’interno della Collezione Farnese e della Collezione De Ciccio, splendidi esemplari realizzati da Guglielmo Della Porta, Giambologna, Alessandro Vittoria e vari artisti del Cinquecento), mentre numerosi sono i marmi antichi. Questi ultimi vengono utilizzati come ornamenti dei giardini e dei cortili, ma talvolta sono inseriti anche nelle gallerie, quale simbolo del prestigio di chi li possiede. Maggiore attenzione è affidata all’apparato scultoreo delle cappelle private, provviste di sculture lignee e marmoree. Nelle dimore sono in attività i più grandi scultori operanti nel periodo di esecuzione dei vari palazzi: in epoca aragonese operano in città Francesco Laurana, Domenico Gagini, Antonio di Chellino, Paolo Romano, Andrea dell’Aquila, Isaia da Pisa, Paolo Taccone, Pietro da Milano, Pere Joan, Jacopo della Pila, Guido Mazzoni, Antonio e Bernardo Rossellino, Benedetto e Giuliano da Maiano, Tommaso e Giovan Tommaso Malvito, Pietro e Giovanni Alemanno e numerosi artisti della cerchia dei Della Robbia (di cui ci sono giunti alcuni esemplari in terracotta invetriata ospitati all’interno del Museo Gaetano Filangieri, della Collezione De Ciccio e del Museo Nazionale di San Martino, dove è esposto il tondo con il Busto virile laureato, proveniente dalla Villa di Poggioreale).

    Sorrento, Capri, the Amalfi Coast and Naples

    Sorrento, Capri, the Amalfi Coast and Naples 24 - 31 March 2019 from £1795.00 A tempting Spring break to Italy, relaxing in the mild climate of the Amalfi coast and the Bay of Naples. We will be based in Sorrento on the Amalfi coast for the first three nights, where we will visit the Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone. These are the classic Amalfi gardens laid out in terraces where umbrella pines and cypresses shade classical geometric beds edged with box and filled with modern flowers. The site of Villa Cimbrone on a cliff top promontory overlooking the sea is beyond compare. We will also take the ferry to the enchanting island of Capri and explore some of its captivating sights. We travel round the Bay of Naples, breaking our journey with visits to the unique archaeological wonders of Pompeii and Herculaneum, to the pulsating port of Naples itself. We travel out to the north of the city to spend a day at the impressive palace and gardens of La Caserta. This huge palace, with equally grand and impressive gardens, was constructed for the Bourbon Kings of Naples and on completion in the 18th century it was the largest royal residence in the world. Finally a day of art and archaeological treasures as we tour the hot-blooded city of Naples, rich with the aroma of Neapolitan cuisine. Itinerary Day 1 We depart by coach from York for Manchester Airport in time for our scheduled flight to Naples (provisional times 08.00/12.00). Upon arrival we will transfer to our hotel in Sorrento, where we will stay for the next three nights.
