This is not a museum, but a running engine. It is a magnificent example of industrial archaeology, rescued from abandonment and returned to the city.
Established in the 18th century as the Bourbon Wool Mill (Lanificio Borbonico), commissioned by Charles III and later expanded by Ferdinand IV, these imposing walls once housed the looms that wove military uniforms. But it was also a place with a social vocation, designed to teach a trade to those on the margins of society, such as young orphans or women in difficulty.
Today, that same productive energy has been transformed. Lanificio 25 has become one of the city's most important cultural hubs.
The noise of the looms has given way to the notes of contemporary music, the voices of experimental theatre, and the forms of art installations and exhibitions. It is a laboratory for new forms of expression, a social gathering place where the avant-garde dialogues with ancient stone.
Visiting Lanificio 25 means discovering how Naples knows how to weave its future, using the strongest threads of its past.
