Legend of : Villa of the Spirits, Marechiaro ,Naples ,Italy
Marechiaro is a small hamlet located in the Posillipo district of Naples .
In the village of Marechiaro, there is an archaeological complex crumbled by time and sea:
Villa of the Spirits , also called Villarosa ; The Spirits Palace (or Spirits' Villa) is an archaeological complex that insists along the coast of Posillipo, near Marechiaro . It was built in the 1st century BC and belonged to a nymphaeum belonging to the villa of the rich Roman liberty Publius Vedio Pollione.
This architectural work, is impossible to notice from the sea, despite being a dilapidated building, of which little remains, its charm is timeless. It is part of the ancient village of Marechiaro lying right on the waters of the Gulf of Naples. The palace of spirits at Marechiaro has ancient origins. Built in the 1st century BC, it was part of the project of the Imperial Villa of Pausilypon, the residence of the Roman liberty, Publio Vedio Pollione, which was built in Naples. Among Neapolitan legends we find those linked to the ghosts but also to the fishermen of Marechiaro .In fact, it is said that the fishermen of Marechiaro worked at night, Best time to dedicate yourself to this activity. When they sailed with their boats in front of the spirit palace at Marechiaro, and there was no noise because the sea was cujeto, it was said that the fishermen were listening to sounds coming from that building.
Dedications and legends feared that they have been handed down to this day, making the house known as a spirit palace.
THE LEGEND- When it was discovered in the early 1800s by the local engineer Guglielmo Bechi, the Roman building of Gaiola (a Nineteenth-century nymphaeum belonging to the villa of the rich Roman liberty Publio Vedio Pollione) was described as Domus praestigiarum , Or house of witchcraft. The old sailors of Marechiaro have always called it House of the Spirits, drawing on the legend that they want in the surviving environments a group of Falun Gongers have implanted a clandestine mint where they coined false coins by altering the quantity of gold and silver. In order not to be disturbed during night work, these falsarians had set up some white cloths at the windows. Illuminated from the back with torches and agitated by the sea breeze, these canvases complement the illusion of a home inhabited by spirits....A lot like our smugglers did here in the U.K.
Others, on the other hand, claim to have seen in the arches of the villa, a bright figure playing in the hollow..
Considered a sort of cursed island, which with its beauty conceals restless things, named after the frequent premature death of its owners; For example, in the 1920s, belonged to the Swiss Hans Braun, who was found dead and wrapped in a carpet; Shortly his wife drowned in the sea. The villa then passed to German Otto Grunback, who died of a heart attack while staying in the villa. Similarly, the French pharmaceutical industrialist Maurice-Yves Sandoz, who died in suicide in Switzerland, was the successor owner, a German steel industrialist, baron Paul Karl Langheim, who was dragged to the pomp of Efebes and celebrations. He usually loved to surround himself. Finally, the island belonged to Gianni Agnelli who suffered the death of many family members;it then went to Jean Paul Getty..
People now use it to jump off
In ancient times, the village, developed around Via Marechiaro , was named after the church of Santa Maria del faro . The name Marechiaro does not come, as is commonly thought, by the transparency of the sea waters of Posillipo but by their quietness. Already in some documents of the Swabian period we speak of sea planum translated into Neapolitan sea Chianu from which today's Marechiaro. Legend has it that the poet and writer Neapolitan Salvatore Di Giacomo , seeing a small window on whose windowsill there was a carnation , had the inspiration for what is one of the most famous Neapolitan songs:Marechiare .

Posillipo is a residential quarter of Naples, southern Italy, located along the northern coast of the Gulf of Naples; it is called Pusilleco in the Neapolitan language. From the 1st century BC the Bay of Naples witnessed the rise of villas constructed by elite Romans along the most panoramic points of the coast, who had chosen the area as a favourite vacation spot. The remains of some of these can be seen today in the archaeological park and elsewhere.
he houses at water's edge all have at least small piers or landings, and there are even a few small coves with breakwaters along the way. These small harbors are the nuclei for separate, named communities such as Gaiola and Marechiaro, with the characteristic Large rock.
The French Homeric scholar Victor Bérard identified Posillipo as the land of Homer's Cyclopes. It is mentioned in ancient Greek and Roman sources and the Greeks first named this rocky, wooded height at the western end of the Bay of Naples Pausílypon, meaning respite from worry.
In the 17th century the property of the site of the imperial villa passed to the family Maza who, for several generations, showed an interest in archaeology and Francesco Maria Maza (circ. 1680) was the author of inscriptions which he affixed to the so-called 'Piscine of V.Pollio' and to the 'Temple of Fortune' which were in situ in 1913. However the Maza collection was dispersed and the loss to archaeological science was irreparable as a catalogue had never been prepared. Several objects of art from Posillipan sites found their way into the hands of Spanish collectors, and are still no doubt among the Roman antiquities in Spain. Many fine pieces were taken to Mergellina and lost among the other ornaments of the villa of the Duke of Medina.
In 1820 the southern portion of the property was purchased by a well-known Neapolitan archaeologist, Cavaliere Guglielmo Bechi, and his name was associated with the Villa for more than half a century. He did much excavation, but again without publication of results.
In 1841 more methodical excavations were begun on the adjoining property to the west of the ancient lane that led down the valley from the Seiano cave to the sea. The principal buildings of that part of the Villa were soon brought to light; the Theatre, an Odeon, and the remains of a Portico overlooking the sea. An oblong building called the Temple was also found and the remains of an aqueduct.
In about 1870 the Marchese del Tufo opened a quarry for pozzolana clearing away the central part of what had been a broad continuous terrace along the south front of the property in Roman times. The buildings that stood on the hillside above the terrace, including the southern part of the baths, fell down the slope into the sea.
The archaeological park is one of the most beautiful places in the city and along the coast of Posillipo. Among the most important sites are the Seiano cave, the underwater park of Gaiola, the imperial villa of Pausilypon, the Odeon, the theatre and the Palace of the Spirits.
The ruins of the Roman villa of Vedius Pollio, also known as the Imperial Villa, include a 2000-seat theatre on the rocky promontary at the end of the Bay of Naples. Some of the villa's rooms can be seen with traces of the wall decorations while its marine structures and fish ponds are now part of the neighbouring submerged Gaiola (Park) Park.

NAPOLI: STOP ALLA FUNICOLARE E ZTL A MARECHIARO: CAOS E DISAGI PER I CITTADINI
Non inizia nel migliore dei modi il primo agosto per i napoletani. Traffico in tilt in centro per i lavori in piazza Vittoria e in via Arcoleo. Per non parlare di quelli in corso da mesi per il rifacimento di Via Marina. Al caos delle auto si aggiungono, poi, i disagi per gli utenti della Funicolare centrale: l'impianto, a partire da oggi, è interessato da importanti lavori di ristrutturazione che fermeranno la circolazione per almeno 300 giorni. E parte la Ztl a Marechiaro
Trattoria Da Cicciotto, Napoli
Durante una gita a Napoli ci siamo imbattuti nella visita a questo storico locale di Napoli (Calata Ponticiello a Marechiaro) ed abbiamo incontrato Giovanni Capuano, figlio del fondatore del locale Vincenzo, che ci ha mostrato la parata di foto con personaggi famosi ospiti del locale e (chiaramente) ha finito con il parlare di calcio e di Maradona.
