Palazzo Mondo is an example of local architecture, of the transitional period between baroque and neoclassic. The first floor apartment offers an intact atmosphere, as you go through historic rooms with antique furniture and paintings. A nostalgic atmosphere characterises the small garden. It is square, wrapped by high tuff walls, redesigned according to picturesque prospects.

This museum is off the beaten tourist path so you just might have it to yourself - at least we did. The part I loved most was that a museum staff member saw I was traveling with my two-young daughters and wanted to make sure we made it to see the mother statues (a very large collection, if not the largest). They were absolutely captivating.

A interesting place of great historical import as this was one of the first places where the modern factory was created. Much of the factory has been restored and very nice to visit if you are interested in early industrialization. Created in the late 1700's the factory and attached royal palace (summer palace for the King of Naples) it requires you to arrange for a guided tour before you can get in to see it. Expensive but worth it to see the place. It's too bad hardly anyone goes there but at 155 euros for a guide for 2 hours (plus 11 euros pp to get into the factory) it is too expensive for a lot of people unless you have an interest in early textile manufacturing.
