The palace itself happens to be one of the four residences used by the Bourbon Kings of Naples during their rule of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies (1730-1860), the others being the palace in Caserta, the palace on the Capodimonte hill overlooking Naples and the palace in Portici on the slopes of Vesuvius. The third one now houses the agricultural department of the University of Naples.

The Royal Palace was designed by Domenico Fontana and it was erected on the site of an even older Spanish viceroyal residence from the early 16th century. The royal residence was moved to Caserta in the 18th century, as that inland town was more defensible from naval assault than Naples.

Various modifications and additions have been made to the palace giving it the present look. Resorations were made after a fire had damaged much of the palace and also after World War II to repair bomb damage. The western façade side of the building displays a series of statues of the rulers of dynasties to rule Naples since the foundation of the Kingdom of Naples in the twelfth century. They are: Roger II, Frederick II of Hohenstaufen, Charles of Anjou, Alfonse of Aragon, Emperor Charles V, Charles VII of Naples, Joachim Murat, and Victor Emanuel II of Savoy, the first king of united Italy.

Napoli Sotterranea is the heart of Naples, and the place from which the city was born, a world which is about 2400 years old. Every historic epic, from the foundation of Neopolis, to the bombs of WWII, has left it’s mark on the walls of the yellow tufa stone, the soul of Naples, and the stone with which the city was built. This “tufacea” rock has particular characteristics of lightness, friableness and stabilities.

This underground was originally used to satisfy the requirements of water. The basement cisterns were used to pick up the rain and used to have material to build in Naples. Under Roman rule the waterworks was extended and improved, but under Angioni rule, in 1266, the city had a new urban expansion with an increase of extraction of “tufo” for new buildings.

Later, this underground came as rescue during the second world war, when it offered refuge to the population adapting the structures of waterworks to the requirements of the citizens.

The guided tours to this underground take you under the Spanish Quarters, in vico S. Anna di Palazzo 52, where Michele and Salvatore Quaranta brothers, have founded the Free Association Underground Hikers that has for objective the grater knowledge of “the inferior” city. When you descend into the cavities of the old cisterns of the Carmignano waterworks, you will be able to admire the feelings of who those took refuge there during the war.

The walls of the underground bear drawings of history pages, names and caricature of personality of the age, customs of the age, soldiers of several nations, dates, information on the two Italian submarines – the Diaspro and the Topazio – that operated during the war, and many other fascinating writings.

Di Salvo’s started working on the designs of the structure way back in 1945 with the realization in company with and along with other architects like as, the District of Cesare Battisti Poggioreale. After years of the tiring labor the Salvo told the implantation of the district over two building structures and the types like as a “tower” and “tent”. The latter type, that provides the massive images to all the sails, is provided by the mixture of two buildings tilted lamellar and being separated by a bigger central void being there with large and long galleries suspended at a measurable height to be compared with the share housing. There were also too provided the social centers, a play space and the other community facilities.

But at present the Sails of Scampia buildings are in condition of complete jeoparady as there two buildings are yet even occupied by the residents as well. The core thought behind the project was to provide the massive housing settlement out there where a good number of families used to live in and integrate with each other. Between the sails there were provided the rail tracks and large park areas between the different sails. The actual thought behind the housing project was to give a big and provide the housing settlements where a good number of families can integrate and make up a community. The planners wanted to develop a city model have a large parks and a playing fields and other facilities as well.

Despite being putting this much of efforts into the construction of the building, there are many reasons that left out this project into the shambles. After the earthquake of 1980, there many families were left out homeless and many of those shelters less people started occupying houses illegally. Them they are much tolerated and ignored by the government and there more and more people started capturing the buildings as there they further included criminals as well. The first police station there in the region started and came into the operation since 1987 after the occupancy that started there fifteen years way back. By 2009, the Vele developed into a noted center of drug trafficking and illegal activities.
