Santa Maria della Misericordia ai Vergini, Catholic church in Vergini district, Naples, Italy.

The church stands at the corner of Via Fuori Porta San Gennaro and Via Misericordiella, featuring a linear facade with two registers and a piperno portal.

In 1532, priest Benedetto Tizzone and Count Giovanni Antonio Caracciolo established the initial structure as a hospice for impoverished clergy members.

The church holds artistic treasures from Naples' finest artists, including paintings by Giovanni Balducci and Leonardo Olivieri, installed during the 18th century.

Since 2015, the SMMAVE Contemporary Art Center manages the church space, organizing cultural activities and maintaining the historical structure.

The church contains an underground chamber of similar dimensions to the main space, which served as a burial ground.
