The Botanical Garden of Naples, Research Center of the Federico II University of Naples, was founded at the beginning of the 19th century, in the period in which the Neapolitan city was dominated by the French; the latter realized an idea previously conceived by Ferdinand IV of Bourbon and whose implementation had been prevented by the revolutionary uprisings of 1799.
The founding decree of this structure bears the date of 28 December 1807 and the signature of King Giuseppe Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon.
With article 1 of this decree those lands were expropriated, owned partly by the Religious of S. Maria della Pace and partly by the Ospedale della Cava, adjacent to the Albergo dei Poveri and already identified in the Bourbon period for the construction of the Real Botanical Garden.
