Palazzo of Monte di Pietà, Mannerist church building in Spaccanapoli district, Naples, Italy
The Palazzo of Monte di Pietà features a portal with Doric columns and an entablature decorated with triglyphs and inscriptions marking its construction period.
Established in 1539 following Emperor Charles V's edict to expel Jewish moneylenders, the Monte di Pietà served as a Christian bank for Naples residents.
The chapel contains statues by Pietro Bernini representing Charity and Security, while Greek artist Belisario Corenzio created the vault frescoes.
Located along the lower decumanus of Naples, known as Spaccanapoli street, the building remains a reference point for architectural studies.
During the Masaniello uprising, Giulio Genoino's intervention prevented revolutionaries from burning down this significant financial institution.
