All the Neapolitans certainly know the SanSevero Chapel, known above all for the presence, inside, of the beautiful “Veiled Christ”. The Chapel, or even the Church of Santa Maria della Pietà, also contains other works of inestimable value, such as the fascinating “anatomical machines or“ Il Disinganno ”.
There are many legends that gravitate around the works of art in the Chapel, linked above all to the Prince of Sansevero and are certainly capable of making the place even more fascinating. In fact, it's probably the feeling of wonder the one that is most easily felt by entering the Church and, precisely for this reason, a cultural review will start in a few days with the name "marvel".
It will be held every Tuesday, starting in May 7, and will take us through a cultural excursus made up of readings, theatrical performances, music to discover the various aspects of the Wonder interpreted by different authors. It is organized with the support of the Banco di Napoli and in collaboration with the cultural association “Il Ballatoio”.
Let's see what we will offer every single appointment.
