Domus Fra' Giovanni
Salerno, Italy
Salerno, Italy
This is the first room one encounters upon entering the apartment. The main peculiarity is the height of the ceiling of wooden beams that meets a fresco on the front wall, depicting angels.
The desk is located under the window overlooking Vicolo dei Barbuti, one of the two entrances to the Palace, and specifically on the side wall of the now deconsecrated Church of Santa Maria dei Barbuti. The name Barbuti comes from the appellation given to the Lombards who dwelt in Salerno between 500 and 600 AD.
From the same window it is possible to glimpse in the distance the Castle of Arechi II, located atop Mount Bonadies 300 meters above sea level.
A composition of ceramics set into the "Cotto Salernitano" flooring completes the environment.
The double room, with two overlooks, one on Larghetto Fra' Giovanni, the other on the inner alley,
has a double bed and an additional single bed.
The unique feature of the room is to be found in the upper part: the ceiling in beams of
wood and the portion of the wall below are
covered with historical frescoes and wall hangings that were
taken up with restoration work by the Superintendence
of Salerno and Avellino.
The environment is warm and
cozy with long curtains (red and white) and Cotto Salernitano Flooring.
The bedroom is equipped with an air conditioner that allows it to reach
an optimal room temperature in all
seasons.

The bathroom, directly connected to the
"Volta" bedroom, is equipped with a
particular bathtub that has been
obtained by exploiting the space of the building's water cistern, which was used
in the past to collect water and then use it when needed in case of
extraordinary events.
The ceramics in
both bathrooms are signed Solimene,
one of the most renowned factories of
ceramics, especially at the
international level, which is still active today and
is located in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, in the town of Vietri.
