Santa Maria di Piedigrotta, Renaissance church in Chiaia district, Naples, Italy
Santa Maria di Piedigrotta features a facade designed by Errico Alvino in 1853, with sculptures created by Bernardo Manco adorning its exterior walls.
The church was established in 1352 on the site of an older chapel that contained a wooden Byzantine icon of the Virgin dell'Itria.
The chapel of Madonna di Pompei displays notable artworks, including a Crucifixion and a Pietà with Anthony of Padua by Wenzel Cobergher.
The religious building maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors at Piazza Piedigrotta 24 in Naples, with guided tours available upon request.
