Capodimonte, Pheasantry to be antiCovid vaccination center for Naples

The Capodimonte Museum and Real Bosco provides the Pheasantry for anti-Covid vaccines, thus contributing to the mass vaccination campaign in the city of Naples. The building, known as the House of Foreign Pheasants, was intended for the hatching and sheltering of Chinese and American pheasants and peacocks; Charles of Bourbon practiced and greatly enjoyed hunting them in the royal reserves. The Pheasantry will become one of the vaccination centers, and work is already under way to ensure at least 1,000 vaccines per day here. The building was deemed suitable because it has very large spaces and convenient access from Porta Milano (terminus of the 3M bus that connects the Real Bosco with the Mann and the Catacombs of San Gennaro every fifteen minutes).

ASL Naples General Director Ciro Verdoliva stressed that “it is necessary that in a few months the whole city of Naples can receive the vaccine administration. ASL Napoli 1 Centro, on the precise direction of the regional government is working to identify suitable locations, and the Capodimonte Museum and Real Bosco has offered the availability of the Royal Pheasantry.”

“Curbing Coronavirus infection as quickly as possible with mass vaccination is not only necessary but a duty on everyone’s part. That is why we are pleased to offer the ample spaces of the Real Bosco di Capodimonte to contribute to this health battle,” said the director of the Neapolitan museum venue Sylvain Bellenger. “The landscape in which the Pheasantry building is nestled with the grasslands of the Real Bosco will remind us that the one thing we should not be afraid to be infected by is art and beauty, which have always been formidable tools for healing the soul,” the director added.
