"Naples is the whole world" said Giulio Cesare Capaccio in 1634, and like Capaccio the conference will focus attention on cultural and artistic exchange between Naples and the cities of Europe, from Rome to London, Florence to Madrid, Palermo to Paris, looking "elsewhere" to discover what is unique about Neapolitan culture from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries.

The conference is organized by Livio Pestilli, Trinity College; Sebastian Schütze, Bibliotheca Hertziana (Max-Planck-Institut für Kunstgeschichte); Ingrid Rowland, American Academy in Rome; and Oreste Ferrari, Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Filosofici.
