He became the king at the age of only 8, in 1759, when his father Charles Spain, ascended the throne of Spain. Ferdinand was born in the Royal Palace of Naples on the 12th of January 1751. From 1759 to 1767, when reached his majority, the kingdom was ruled by a Regency Council who was receiving instructions from Madrid. The young sovereign was not interested in studying and he didn’t really dedicate himself to education.
The imagination of the contemporary traveler gets lost in the alleys, after crossing Piazza del Plebiscito, touching the Royal Palace, the San Carlo Theater, and Via Toledo, aiming here and there at the surprising green patches of Capodimonte, the vegetable gardens and the Posillipine parks and the coastal cliffs of yellow tuff.
