Museum of the Treasure of San Gennaro

The bond that Naples Italy and the Neapolitans with San Gennaro goes far beyond the simple devotion to the patron saint. It is a visceral and shared sentiment, which over the centuries has overcome prohibitions and restrictions, becoming increasingly stronger. Although San Gennaro is considered by the church a saint of “Serie B”, it is not for the Neapolitans. The treasure is the most immediate and important proof of this love for “Yellow Face”, the name with which the Neapolitans call the Saint due to its most famous statue in gilded silver. The Treasure of San Gennaro is located in the Museum dedicated to the Saint, inside the Cathedral of Naples Italy, and collects relics and precious objects, which have become oracles of faith. An extraordinary journey through time among incredible masterpieces donated over the years by the many devotees of the Saint who have led in 700 years to the formation of the largest treasure in the world after that of the Crown of England. Hundreds of jewels, paintings, sculptures, statues, silver furnishings and fabrics, all unique masterpieces to be admired in the museum as soon as possible but which we can also see on the website with the […]

Sansevero Chapel

Located in the heart of the ancient center of Naples Italy, the Sansevero Chapel Museum is a jewel of the international artistic heritage. Baroque creativity and dynastic pride, beauty and mystery intertwine here, creating a unique atmosphere, almost out of time. The Sansevero Chapel is one of the most important museums in Naples Italy. Located near Saint Domenico Maggiore Square, this church, now deconsecrated, is adjacent to the family palace of the princes of Sansevero, separated from it by an alley once surmounted by a suspension bridge which allowed family members to access the place privately of worship. Among masterpieces such as the famous Veiled Christ, whose image has traveled the world for the prodigious “weaving” of the marble veil, wonders of virtuosity such as Disillusion and enigmatic presences such as the Anatomical Machines, the Sansevero Chapel represents one of the most singular monuments that human ingenuity has ever conceived. According to legend, the marble veil that can be observed on the body of Christ is made up of a veil of real fabric that has undergone a transformation into rock (marbling) thanks to the application of a substance created by the Prince of San Severo, a famous alchemist.

Via Francesco de Sanctis, 19/21, Naples, Italy

Chiaia Street is one of the most famous and elegant streets in the historic center of Naples Italy, a favorite destination for city shopping, full of boutiques and characteristic shops, but also of picturesque views and buildings of historical and architectural interest. If you are in Plebiscito Square, the walk along Chiaia Street is an alternative and pleasant way to reach the Chiaia Riviera. The pedestrian street starting from Trieste e Trento Square, adjacent to Plebiscito Sqaure, ends on the opposite side on Martiri Sqaure which in turn leads to the Riviera di Chiaia. The road was intended to connect the city with the Phlegraean Fields. Until 1782 it was also characterized by the presence of a door, known as the Santo Spirito, Chiaia or Romana door. Along the road between clothing boutiques, leather goods shops and typical products, on the right side, you reach the corner with Salita Sant’anna di Palazzo where the famous Antica Pizzeria Brandi is located, that of pizza Margherita. In this pizzeria you can read, on display in one of its premises, the letter of thanks from the Queen of Italy Margherita of Savoy. The letter, dated 1889, was sent by the Queen to the […]
