Cappella Cangiani

Cappella Cangiani is a church building in Naples featuring modern architectural design with clean lines and straightforward structure. It serves as a parish church for the Arenella district community.

The church was completed in 1969 by architect Alberto Izzo, replacing earlier religious structures that had occupied the site. The location had maintained a connection to religious use since the 16th century.

Inside the chapel stands a carved Crucifix by Michelangelo Naccherino, originally from an older church, which draws visitors interested in religious sculpture. This work of art remains a focal point for quiet reflection and prayer.

The chapel is open for regular worship services and functions as a community center for the neighborhood. Visitors should respect service times and dress appropriately when entering the interior spaces.

The Crucifix inside was deliberately moved here from another historic Naples church to preserve it for future generations. This relocation demonstrates how newer buildings can safeguard older artworks for the community.
