The emblematic features of an ancient representation, full of spiritual values and profane contamination; a careful selection of almost two hundred little masterpieces from public (San Martino National Museum, Naples Royal Palace, Caserta Royal Palace) and private collections. A travel to the roots of a collective fancied and of an artisan economy still alive.

The reproposal of a centuries-old tradition, a noble craft that involved sculptors, painters, architects, copper smiths, glassworkers, tailor, embroiderers, wax modeller, lute makers, clients and collectors is represented in this volume .
