Estremamente bellissima! This is eye and brain candy for the artistic minded and admirers. A perfect place for other artists to set up their work, too. Napoli is a hub for such beings. Gotta check this palace out if you visit Napoli. It's nicely located on Via Toledo near many munchies and window shopping. I got in for €5.

They're known for being a book binder and traditional paper producer having been in the business for over 100 years. Store space is cramped inside with all the products they carry, and old town Naples isn't exactly known for being spacious. And the decor looks straight out of the 60s, but it's inspiring to see a local business strumming to their own tune.

I think I'd like to live here.
