The Capodimonte museum in Naples features an exquisite 18th-century Rococo boudoir that was commissioned for Maria Amalia of Saxony. This remarkable chamber is adorned with porcelain panels, vivid garlands, and lifelike decorations. Later this year, it will be part of new galleries designed by renowned designer Federico Forquet. At 94, Forquet, who has had a distinguished career in fashion and interior design, returns to his roots, collaborating on the restoration of the space that captures both elegance and artistry.
