Portici (Italy) | Golden Mile | Reproduction

Portici rises up from the slopes of the western face of Vesuvius and occupies a small area of land along the coast of the Bay of Naples. The golden age of Portici’s history coincides with

the arrival of Charles III of Spain, who in 1738 chose to build his summer residence there. And it is around the Royal Palace that the Neapolitan aristocracy built other residences, giving life to the architectural phenomenon known as the ‘Golden Mile’.

Portici sorge alle pendici del versante ovest del Vesuvio

e occupa una piccola porzione di territorio lungo la costa

del Golfo di Napoli. L’epoca aurea della storia di Portici

coincide con l’arrivo di Carlo III di Borbone che proprio

a Portici decide di costruire nel 1738 la propria residenza

estiva. Ed è attorno al Palazzo Reale che l’aristocrazia

napoletana stabilisce altre residenze dando vita al

fenomeno architettonico noto come “Miglio d’Oro”.

The renovation work to modernise the ‘Golden Mile’ started with the restoration of four cast-iron bases that now decorate the octagonal court of the Royal Palace. The bases were discovered in the Granatello area, where they had been abandoned, before being placed in the site of great historical significance following careful restoration work carried out by Neri.

L’intervento di ripristino per riqualificare l’area del “Miglio d’Oro” ha preso l’avvio dal recupero di quattro basamenti in ghisa che oggi abbelliscono la corte ottagonale di Palazzo

Reale. I basamenti sono stati letteralmente scoperti nella zona del Granatello, dove erano stati abbandonati, e quindi collocati in questo sito di grande rilevanza storica, dopo un attento

lavoro di restauro eseguito da Neri.

Also renovated in the Royal Palace court were eight original

wall brackets dating from the first half of the 18th century: these iron ‘supports’ in which candles were inserted, are now functioning once again after the careful cleaning of centuries-old wax and

layers of pollution. Neri supplied the ‘Light 700’ lanterns.

Sempre nella corte di Palazzo Reale sono state ripristinate anche otto mensole a muro originali risalenti alla prima metà

del Settecento: si tratta di “appoggi” in ferro su cui erano

inserite delle candele, oggi resi nuovamente funzionanti dopo

un’accurata ripulitura dai residui secolari della cera e dallo

strato di inquinamento. Neri ha fornito le lanterne Light 700.

Once the ‘Golden Mile’, Corso Garibaldi is today a traffic-

congested and chaotic arterial road that cuts through Portici, running alongside the noble palaces from the 18th century.

For this arterial road, the project involved new lighting similar to the cast-iron bases placed in the Royal Palace. So that they could be placed in the rather narrow footpaths, the bases were reproduced true to shape, but reduced in size.

Corso Garibaldi, un tempo il “Miglio d’Oro”, è oggi un’arteria trafficata e caotica che taglia Portici lambendo i palazzi nobiliari del ‘700. Per questa arteria il progetto ha previsto una nuova illuminazione che richiama i basamenti in ghisa collocati nel Palazzo Reale; per essere posizionati nei

marciapiedi piuttosto stretti, i basamenti sono stati riprodotti

fedelmente nella forma, ma ridotti nelle dimensioni.

The complexity of the decoration led to the construction of a mould divided into many parts, so that each of its component shapes could be successfully cast.

La complessità della decorazione ha comportato

la costruzione di un modello suddiviso in molte parti

per riuscire a fondere tutte le figure che lo compongono.

The quality of the moulds is demonstrated by the castings made.

La qualità dei modelli è testimoniata dalle fusioni realizzate.

Despite a heavily-changed urban setting along the ‘Golden Mile’, today it is still possible to imagine the sea view that was characteristic of every villa in the 18th century. From palace to palace, the entrance doors provide a glimpse onto a magical landscape.

Percorrendo il “Miglio d’Oro”, pur in un contesto urbano profondamente alterato, è possibile immaginare ancora oggi quell’affaccio sul mare che nel settecento era

caratteristico di ciascuna villa. I portoni di ingresso

che si succedono di palazzo in palazzo, lasciano

intravvedere un paesaggio magico.

Today, the lamp posts decorate and illuminate the road, harmoniously accompanying the royal residences, many of which have been restored.

I lampioni ora decorano e illuminano la via e accompagnano

con ritmo le residenze principesche che in molti casi sono

state restaurate.
