Statue of Charles I of Anjou, Palazzo Reale de Napoli, Naples, Campania, Italy

Statue of Carlo I D'Angio or Charles I of Anjou, 1226-85, by Tommaso Solari, 1820-89, on the main facade of the Palazzo Reale de Napoli, on the Piazza del Plebiscito, Naples, Campania, Italy. The sculpture appears fierce and disdainful. Charles ruled over the Kingdom of Naples after the separation of Sicily. The Royal Palace of Naples was a residence of the Bourbon Kings, built in the 17th and 18th centuries in Italian Baroque and Neoclassical styles. Naples is the second largest city in Italy and has been settled since the 2nd millennium BC. The historic city centre is the largest in Europe and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
