Welcome to the site Napoliforme

In Acerra, the home of Punchinello, an ancient mask with peasant origins, a visit to the Punchinello Museum, folklore and peasant civilisation, reveals the story of a peasant civilisation with a difficult everyday life, but a repository of values and knowledge in harmony with nature. While the Roman theatre, on which the city's baronial castle was built in the early Middle Ages, confirms Acerra's distant origins.Frattamaggiore and Mugnano are important agricultural centres of the past: very fertile lands, divided into lots according to Roman centuriation, which were to become the rural villages of the 'casali di Napoli'.The Museo Sansossiano di arte sacra in the basilica of San Sossio in Frattamaggiore reconstructs the history of popular religiosity in its exhibition itinerary, starting with the legendary foundation of the city and the cause of the choice of its patron saint. And finally, in Mugnano, the station of the Napoli nor-est metro line, with an important and complex work of public art, shows how the past can dialogue with the contemporary.
