Caracciolo Hospitality invests in culture: the hotel’s exhibition programme gets underway
From September, the group’s hotels and restaurants will host exhibitions by contemporary artists including Gentile, Martone, Alessio and De Bona
Tourism and art. From September to November, the hotels of the Caracciolo Hospitality Group will host a programme of contemporary art exhibitions: an initiative to promote tourism and invest in culture. The group’s hotels – Palazzo Caracciolo Naples, a Hilton affiliate, the de Bonart Naples, Curio Collection by Hilton and the Grand Hotel Telese – will host artistic projects that differ in style and sensibility but are united by a desire to create an authentic dialogue between art, the city and the public, transforming the hotels into venues for social interaction and cultural experiences.
The programme opens at de Bonart Naples with ‘Napolitudine’, an exhibition dedicated to Luigi Gentile, running from 9 September to 9 October 2026 and organised in collaboration with the Luigi Gentile Foundation. The exhibition explores the artist’s inner, poetic vision of Naples through works that present the Neapolitan capital as a place of the soul, blending vitality, memory and melancholy. The project builds on the core of the exhibition presented at the Maschio Angioino as part of the Napoli 2500 celebrations, offering a new opportunity to explore the work of one of the city’s most sensitive interpreters.
From 16 September to 16 November 2026, Palazzo Caracciolo, a Naples Hilton Affiliate, will host the exhibition “Composizioni” by Giordano Martone. Through two-dimensional and three-dimensional works, assemblages and installations, the artist will bring about a veritable creative invasion of the building’s spaces. Also on display is “L’Albero delle Chiavi della Pace” (The Tree of Keys to Peace), a work-in-progress installation situated in the cloister, conceived as a symbol of dialogue, sharing and collective participation.
Also at de Bonart Naples, from 21 October to 21 November 2026, the exhibition project “La forma delle cose” by Francesco Alessio (with a tribute to Salvatore Paladino) is scheduled to take place. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples and at the Capodimonte Picture Gallery, Alessio is a Neapolitan sculptor and lecturer who has for years focused his research on archetypes and the essential structures of form. In his works, matter becomes a language and a tool for reflection, transforming into a veritable culture of space, capable of linking memory, sign and contemporary perception.
The programme continues with the Finarte The Gallery project, an initiative developed by Finarte and the Caracciolo Hospitality Group that transforms the spaces at Deschevaliers Restaurant, within de Bonart Naples, into a gallery dedicated to contemporary art and photography. The exhibition offers guests an immersive experience and the opportunity to discover the works available for purchase via an online platform. Finarte, a leading player in the Italian art collecting market, now has 3 offices, 21 departments, organises 70 auctions a year and continues to expand in the luxury, art and design sectors.
