Early albumen print, 255x315 mm, on mount
Via Caracciolo was built ten yearts later, provided with a small marina for sailors to compensate for the loss of the beach. Behind the photographer, and slightly set back from the present street front, was the Albergo delle Crocelle, where the city's most eminent guests, including Giacomo Casanova, stayed. Opposite the hotel, by the sea, was a place of delight, which belonged to Prince Michele Imperiali. With Giuseppe Garibaldi's entry into Naples, the building became the editorial office of the newspaper L'Indipendente founded and directed by Alexandre Dumas, who lived at the casino for seven years. estimate EUR 400/500
