Casina Vanvitelliana is located on a small islet in Lake Fusaro in Bacoli and was built in 1782 by the architect Carlo Vanvitelli, son of Luigi Vanvitelli architect of the Royal Palace of Caserta, following King Ferdinand IV requests.
Casina Vanvitelliana was used by royalty for hunting and fishing and often hosted illustrious guests, such as Mozart and Gioachino Rossini.
The precious furnishings and original paintings were looted over time, during the revolutions and World War II.
Only a few paintings have not been lost and can still be admired today at the Royal Palace of Naples.
The last restoration of Casina Vanvitelliana took place at the beginning of this century.
Not far from Lake Fusaro and Casina Vanvitelliana, there are the Archaeological Museum of Baia Castle, the Archaeological Park of Baia Thermal Baths, the Acropolis of Cuma with the cave of Sibilla Cumana and many other wonders of the Phlegraean Fields (Campi Flegrei).
