<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gotico Angioiano</span> Gothic style of architecture

The Gotico Angioiano is a Gothic style of architecture found in southern Italy. It is named after the Capetian House of Anjou and had been the style of the Kingdom of Sicily since 1266 and the Kingdom of Naples since 1302. It must not be confused with the Angevin Gothic of western France. The Capetian House of Anjou began with Charles I of Anjou, who had been given the County of Anjou in apanage by his brother, Louis IX of France. He was given the kingdom of Sicily as a fief by Pope Clement IV, as the popes wanted to finish the Hohenstaufen rule in Italy and to cut the junctions between the Holy Roman Empire and Sicily. Establishing his rule in Naples, he brought a large staff of courtiers and specialists along with himself.
