This chapter further investigates the role of Queen Maria Carolina within contemporary Neapolitan society, focusing on her interests in the visual arts and literature as crucial elements within her cultural agenda. The role of the Cappella Reale within the promotion and performance of instrumental music at the Neapolitan court is also investigated, particularly through archival documents (primarily transactional registries of compensation) and prior research, which reveal the identities of the personnel and associated instrumentation of the ensemble. Based on these sources, a more accurate portrait of the Cappella Reale, its constitution, and even its repertory in the late eighteenth century is offered. Contemporary keyboard culture in the capital city is also discussed, noting the thriving sector of craftsmen, whose activities complemented the wide-ranging cultivation of keyboard and instrumental genres.
