NeapolitanTrips was born from an idea by Luca Sola, a young entrepreneur from Naples, and his brother Andrea. It is a unique hospitality project: on four floors of the historic building Casa del Mutilato in the heart of Naples, you can choose to stay at an Hostel, Premium Hostel, Bed&Breakfast, and Hotel Royal.
Contemporary art is the common thread of all these spaces. Photography, digital art, painting, and comics tell the city of Naples, its characters, and its history, creating the first Art Hostel.
On the way to the dormitories, you can admire the works of 8 artists (Luca Arenare, Angela Foria, Omar Mohamed, Marina Bufano, Laura Correale, Giada Piccolo, Flavia Bracale, Roberto Cavalieri) where iconic themes of Neapolitan culture are protagonists. On the Bar terrace, all attention is drawn to the site-specific work created on one of the walls by Iabo, a Neapolitan artist and writer, among the leading figures of street art made in Naples, with solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
On the floor of the Premium Hostel stands out the series “Humanhero”: a project by Luca Carnevale, a young Neapolitan painter who depicts the protagonists of Neapolitan culture as superheroes.
Massimo Troisi, Maradona, Sofia Loren, Totò, Vittorio de Sica, Pino Daniele, and many others are portrayed in Pop style and dressed as American superheroes.
On the other floors of NeapolitanTrips, you can admire the works of Sergio Siano including “The Sea Washing Naples” and in the B&b rooms, photos by six Neapolitan artists (Alessandro Pierno, Enrico Napoleone, Diego Loffredo, Andrea Savoia, Luigi Lista, Paola Tufo) selected by Elisabetta Cartiere.
The permanent collection, which grows every year, is alternated every 15 days by temporary exhibitions in the common areas. With the aim of promoting the talent of young Neapolitan artists, the exhibitions are inaugurated on Wednesdays with the Aperiveg #inArt, the vegan aperitif.
NeapolitanTrips is the first Urban Tourist Village in Italy, a hospitality hub suitable for every type of traveler and travel need: Bed&Breakfast, Hostel, Hotel Royal, and Premium Hostel in a single building, in the monumental heart of Naples, totaling 160 beds. The building is the monumental palace of La Casa del Mutilato, erected between 1938 and 1940, in the city center, just steps from the famous Spaccanapoli.
