Located in the historic heart of Naples, not far from the ancient Greek walls of Neapolis, lies the Dimora Conte di Ruvo, a guesthouse nestled amidst the esoteric and legendary fame of the veiled Christ and the artisan tradition of San Gregorio Armeno. This establishment takes its name from Ettore Carafa, the Count of Ruvo, who was born in Andria in the second half of the 18th century. Recently restored, the hotel is situated on the fifth floor of a noble palace adjacent to the Bellini Theater and facing the Academy of Fine Arts. Its rooms are inspired by the numbers and typical meanings of the Neapolitan "smorfia" (a form of divination using numbers). Furthermore, it enjoys a strategically advantageous location, allowing for easy access to the most famous historical monuments and places of interest, renowned for their history and beauty, in the city center.

The philanthropic tradition of "suspended coffee" was born in Naples, in harmony with the good-hearted Neapolitan tradition. Today widespread in large parts of the world, it is customary to believe that, in the bars of the city, one can leave a "suspended" by paying, at the cash desk, two cafes: one for oneself and the other for the next and unknown customer, who cannot afford it. It is to this warm welcome and sincere courtesy that room 42 of the Count of Ruvo residence is oriented: a single room of 10 square meters, furnished with grace, in the colors of white and beige, with wooden furniture and wrought iron bed. The environment is also functional to the needs of people with disabilities. As Totò a Peppino in La banda degli Honesti,"can I offer her a coffee?" is probably the phrase that you will hear more often in the voice of Naples. The number 42 issue of the Neapolitan grimace is a juxtaposition dedicated to Black. Texts by Antonia Storace Copyright 2016. Rights reserved.
