Della Monica Castle

Della Monica Castle is the main structure in a complex of buildings in the village of Teramo, in the Italian region of Abruzzo. Neo-gothic in style, it was started in 1889 and remained uncompleted at the time of the artist's death in 1917. After his death, Vincenzo Bindi, an art historian, proposed its acquisition by the Municipality as a public museum, however the proposal was immediately shelved. The interior of the castle contains frescoes depicting landscapes and other works by the hand of Gennaro Della Monica, however the area is not open to the public due to it being unsafe.
