San Francesco delle Cappuccinelle, Religious complex in Avvocata district, Naples, Italy.

The San Francesco delle Cappuccinelle features a Latin cross layout and contains a cloister decorated with arches on its southwestern section.

The structure emerged in the 16th century through funding from Eleonora, widow of the Duke of Scarpato, to provide shelter for single mothers.

The church formerly displayed a large painting by Francesco Solimena and Nicola Maria Rossi on its main altar, now exhibited at the Diocesan Museum.

The complex underwent transformations between 1756 and 1760, incorporating stucco and marble modifications by Nicola Tagliacozzi Canale.

In 2015, the building reopened as 'Scugnizzo Liberato', offering free workshops and activities based on mutual aid principles.
