Taking care of the square

Piazza Enrico De Nicola

Porta Capuana

The City of Naples has entrusted the care and management of Piazza Enrico De Nicola, the entrance area of the Santa Caterina Complex and the former Bourbon Woolen Mill, to the Made in Cloister Foundation.

This is an important step for our urban regeneration project, which can weld the balance between cultural heritage and city life so that the beauty of the square can enrich the life of our community.
