Drawing inspiration from the study of an important organ built in 1739 by the Neapolitan Domenico Mancini, preserved in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Taverna, the exhibition intends to re-read - through a targeted selection of works - some aspects of the arts in Naples over the years and in the environment by Mancini, founder of a prolific family of organ builders in demand throughout the Kingdom. The fulcrum of the exhibition is the genre painting of one of the greatest and most original observers of the reality of his time, Gaspare Traversi, who grew up and trained in the same neighborhood of the Mancinis in Naples, who was also his hosts; the critical, sometimes mocking, but always very human gaze of the painter is examined here in relation to some lesser known but very significant episodes of the figurative culture of the Neapolitan eighteenth century, from the precedents of Giuseppe Bonito to the terracotta sculpture of the great Giuseppe Sanmartino.
