The burial chapel of the de'Sangro family is linked to the figure of Prince Raimondo, the great patron and charismatic personality of 18th century Naples. The foundations of the first chapel were built in 1590 in a corner of the garden of the same palace; this was enlarged in 1608 and was destined to be a tomb for family members.

  • Napoli will bring out the explorer in you but you must have several maps, good walking shoes, and some basic Italian to navigate it.
  • Driving in Napoli is like aspiring to be a Kamikazi! We walked the streets and drove only went leaving the city for day trips.

“We tramped through pouring rain, with wet maps in search of the Chapel of San Severo. Anyone who has been to Napoli knows that navigating its tiny streets without at least 2 maps and the ability to ask for directions in simple Italian is a challenge. In this case our efforts were rewarded beyond any expectation that we had. The Veiled Christ and the Disenchantment are stunning even if you have seen the works of Michangelo in Frenzy or Roma. Awed does not begin to describe the sensations. No pictures can capture the magic. These two sculptors had with their marble. Don't miss it!”
