Santa Maria dell’Aiuto, Baroque church in central Naples, Italy
The church features a vertical facade with curvilinear tympanum, four corner lesenes, and a central portal adorned with marble borders.
Construction began in 1673 under architect Dionisio Lazzari, following increased donations during the 1656 plague that affected Naples.
Three paintings by Gaspare Traversi from 1749 depicting the Nativity of Mary, Annunciation, and Assumption of the Virgin decorate the entrance.
The church stands at Vico Santa Maria dell'Aiuto 10, near Santa Maria la Nova church, with coordinates 40.844407, 14.253988.
The church originated from a sacred image placed in an aedicule by two young devotees who funded the initial small chapel construction.
