Palazzo Latilla, Naples

The Palazzo Latilla is an 18th-century monumental palace located on Via Tarsia #28, in the quartiere nel quartiere Avvocata of Naples, Italy.

History

The palace was constructed (1758–1761) by fusing three adjacent houses previously on the site. The design was by Mario Gioffredo, and the structure was built for the municipal councilman Ferdinando Latilla. The facade had a massive stone portal leading into a small inner courtyard with stairs. In 1988, it became property of the Faculty of Architecture, and used for classrooms and offices, of the MAED-Materioteca per l’Architettura e il Design, the Centro CITTAM, and the Centro Urban/Eco.^[1]
