Cappella Piccolomini, Renaissance chapel in Sant'Anna dei Lombardi complex, Naples, Italy
The Piccolomini Chapel contains a marble coffin holding Maria d'Aragona and features detailed sculptures created using the stiacciato technique for enhanced depth perception.
Tuscan sculptor Antonio Rossellini designed and constructed this chapel between 1470 and 1490 to commemorate Maria d'Aragona, wife of Antonio Piccolomini.
The altarpiece presents the Nativity scene through intricate marble work, while the floor incorporates Roman opus sectile methods for geometric patterns.
The chapel opens Monday through Friday from 09:30 to 18:30, Saturday until 18:00, and Sunday from 12:30 to 17:30, with admission prices at 6 euros.
The marble seat, known as sediale, stands opposite to Maria's tomb, representing a distinct architectural element within the Renaissance chapel design.
