Capodimonte porcelain,
soft-paste porcelain produced by a factory established in 1743 at the Palazzo of Capodimonte by Charles III of Naples. Ware was produced there in large quantity and wide variety until 1759, when the concern was dismantled and removed to Buen Retiro, near Madrid, when Charles became king of Spain. Capodimonte is to be distinguished from the products of the royal factory at Naples that Charles’s son, Ferdinand IV, founded in 1771 and that was active until 1806. Giuseppe Gricci was chief modeler during the life of the Capodimonte factory, and J.S. Fischer and Luigi Restile were, successively, chief painters.
The soft-paste body of the porcelain, which has a lustrous glaze, is usually pure white but is sometimes slightly tinged. Early productions—Rococo snuffboxes, cane handles, soup tureens, and tea services—were put on sale at annual fairs. Painted designs included battle scenes, seascapes, landscapes, figures, and cupids in monochrome red, blue, violet, or black; occasionally a turquoise ground, derived from Meissen, was used. Numerous figures and groups were modeled by Gricci, drawing on mythological, religious, or rustic themes. A range of commedia dell’arte characters are vivid creations, distinctive in the restrained use of soft colours and gold. But the decorative masterpiece of the Capodimonte factory is the Rococo “Porcelain Room” originally at the Villa Reale at Portici but moved to the Palazzo of Capodimonte in 1805. Executed between 1757 and 1759, it is still intact except for a chandelier destroyed in World War II. Gricci and Fischer were principally responsible for the room, which, apart from the door and five mirrors, consists entirely of porcelain plaques, vases, and large-relief chinoiserie (decoration reflecting Chinese influence) groups lavishly gilded and brightly painted in polychrome enamel.
Porcelain cups and saucers and similar ornamental wares decorated with mythological scenes in relief and coloured were not at any time made here but were produced at the Doccia factory. The Bourbon fleur-de-lis, impressed or painted, was the factory mark (the same mark subsequently used by Buen Retiro), though it was seldom used.
Porcelain of varying quality continues to be made under the Capodimonte name in Italy, both in the Naples area and at other locations. The modern production includes figurines and heavily decorated vases, urns, chandeliers, and other objects. Realistic floral designs, including individual blossoms, are widely identified with the Capodimonte name.

SUMMARY
=======
Naples (; Italian: Napoli [ˈnaːpoli] (listen); Neapolitan: Napule [ˈnɑːpələ] or [ˈnɑːpulə]; Latin: Neapolis; Ancient Greek: Νεάπολις, lit. 'new city') is the regional capital of Campania and the third-largest municipality in Italy after Rome and Milan. In 2017, around 967,069 people lived within the city's administrative limits while its province-level municipality has a population of 3,115,320 residents. Its continuously built-up metropolitan area (that stretches beyond the boundaries of the Metropolitan City of Naples) is the second or third largest metropolitan area in Italy.
First settled by Greeks in the second millennium BC, Naples is one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban areas in the world. In the ninth century BC, a colony known as Parthenope or Παρθενόπη was established on the Island of Megaride, later refounded as Neápolis in the sixth century BC. The city was an important part of Magna Graecia, played a major role in the merging of Greek and Roman society and a significant cultural centre under the Romans. It served as the capital of the Duchy of Naples (661–1139), then of the Kingdom of Naples (1282–1816) and finally of the Two Sicilies until the unification of Italy in 1861.
Between 1925 and 1936, Naples was expanded and upgraded by Benito Mussolini's government but subsequently sustained severe damage from Allied bombing during World War II, which led to extensive post-1945 reconstruction work. Naples has experienced significant economic growth in recent decades, helped by the construction of the Centro Direzionale business district and an advanced transportation network, which includes the Alta Velocità high-speed rail link to Rome and Salerno and an expanded subway network. Naples is the third-largest urban economy in Italy, after Milan and Rome. The Port of Naples is one of the most important in Europe and home of the Allied Joint Force Command Naples, the NATO body that oversees North Africa, the Sahel and Middle East.Naples' historic city centre is the largest in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a wide range of culturally and historically significant sites nearby, including the Palace of Caserta and the Roman ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Naples is also known for its natural beauties such as Posillipo, Phlegraean Fields, Nisida, and Vesuvius.Neapolitan cuisine is synonymous with pizza – which originated in the city – but it also includes many lesser-known dishes; Naples has the greatest number of accredited stars from the Michelin Guide of any Italian city.The best-k ...
