ANGELO
DELLA MURA
(Maiori 1867-1922)
Angelo Della Mura (Maiori 1867-1922) studies in Maiori with the uncle, Gaetano Capone, and later attended courses at the Institute of Fine Arts in Naples. It is here represented by a small Panel Painting, dated within the last decade of the nineteenth century, depicting the entrance to the Hotel Caruso a Ravello, with a sharp pattern, precise in details, which depends on the influence of Gaetano Capone; another painting, titled Hotel Castello Belvedere a Maiori, and dated to around 1910-14, belongs to the series of “Maiori Gardens”, where the artist, using a scale of bright colors, focuses attention on the most prestigious hotels of the Amalfi Coast that becomes, at the beginning of the new century, searched destination of fine tourism.
