Maiori, Mezzacapo Building


*The Mezzacapo Building*
The Mezzacapo building is evidence of the past splendor of the little city of Maiori. The Mezzacapo building is in the heart of the city, midway up the Corso Reginna. As the visitor enters the massive carved wooden door, the magnificence of the ancient entrance to the home of the former Marquis of Mezzacapo is immediately apparent. Two marble stairways lead to the upper floors of the building, which, today, is the seat of the City Hall. The sumptuous Reception Hall stands out among the various rooms of the building. The grand vaulted ceiling, frescoed with a depiction of "the triumph of the Olympians", and the walls adorned by mirrors and gilded figurines, give this hall a pompous ambiance, but also enchanting. In 1943, during the Allied landing, this building was the General Headquarters of the American troops stationed in the area. The Mezzacapo Building Gardens
