the history
Corso Umberto I (also known as Rettifilo) is one of the most important historical streets of Naples and connects the city center to the train station.
Corso Umberto I was born during the so-called “rehabilitation” works, following which entire districts and buildings were destroyed (even those of a certain artistic and religious value) and replaced by modern buildings built in tuff.
At first, in 1897 the city council established that the name of the Corso was going to be “Corso Re d ‘Italia” but then became Corso Umberto I in honour of Prince Umberto.
For many critics the Corso rather than to represent the Naples of the post-Risorgimento period was instead presented as a cover up for the popular districts, which however still survived behind the facade of the beautiful new construction buildings, but nevertheless today they are represented as the main images of the most characteristic postcards of Naples.
the value of details
White is the prevailing color for an immediate relaxing effect but the encounter with the brightness of gold and the warmth of brown, situated in the details of contemporary design, welcomes the guests into a comfortable embrace.
