Historical Center
- Artist: Michelangelo delle Battaglie
- Location: The Revolt of Masaniello
The work depicts the famous popular uprising in Naples that started on 7 July 1647, led by Tommaso Aniello d’Amalfi, better known as Masaniello. A painter of Bamboccianti and battles, Cerquozzi created the painting without leaving Rome, probably following suggestions given to him by his colleague Viviano Codazzi who actually witnessed the events.
