Naples, Capodimonte Woods opening lasts only 5 days. Closed due to too many infractions


The reopening of the Bosco di Capodimonte lasts only five days: management has decided to close it again due to too many visitor infractions and failure to agree on supervision.

It lasted the space of just five days for the opening of the Real Bosco di Capodimonte in Naples, which had returned to welcome visitors last May 18, the date of the museums official reopening. The reason for this was explained this evening by the management of the Capodimonte Museum and Real Bosco, which issued a laconic statement to communicate the reasons behind the closure: too many infractions allegedly committed by visitors, and theabsence of agreement with social partners.

As for the first point, the management lets it know that it has invited park-goers to observe the sanitary rules of containment of Covid-19 contagion, namely the ones we all know by now: physical distance and the use of a mask, which is mandatory at Capodimonte despite the fact that it is a park. Campania, in fact, is the region that has most zealously and restrictively enforced the mask requirements, and while in all regions of Italy there is no obligation to wear it outdoors (unless situations arise such that physical distance cannot be respected), in the region administered by Vincenzo De Luca it is made compulsory to wear it in any public area or area open to the public, no matter if outdoors or indoors (despite experts saying that the mask outdoors is not needed if you are alone or in any case if you do not come into contact with anyone).

However, the Capodimonte Museum found “numerous infractions” regarding the above requirements. In addition, no agreement has been reached with the social partners on the private vigilantes who are to flank the ministerial vigilance inside Bosco. “The private vigilance,” the museum’s directorate points out, “has been present in the Real Bosco from 2017 until the closure due to Covid-19, with staff equipped with bicycles and electric cars and has carried out ’dynamic’ vigilance service, thus succeeding in ensuring greater compliance with the regulations and better enjoyment of the Bosco. Security activities widely appreciated by the public.”

In short, as they say in the jargon of the race, it was a false start for the great Neapolitan museum: therefore, one waits for the date of June 2, which is the day when the reopening of the museum was established.
