One of the finest sculptures in the world | 3 great collections of Naples

Cappella Sansevero Chapel of SAN Severo

Built in 1593, it became the mausoleum and private chapel of the di Sangro family in 1613, and has been open as a museum since the early 20th century.

A total of 28 pieces are displayed in the museum, and three important sculptures are "Masked Christ", "Disillusionment" and "Humility", both created by the Italian sculptor Raimondo in the 1740s, "Disillusionment" and "Humility" are displayed on both sides of the "Masked Christ".

"The Veiled Christ" is one of the world's most detailed sculptures, showing Christ covered in a transparent shroud. The sculptor's meticulous strokes give the impression that Christ is covered with a veil of reality.

In the chapel, there are other exhibits, including the "altar sculpture" by the Italian artist Francesco Celebrano, the "Glory of Heaven" painting by the Italian painter Francesco Maria Russo, and the tomb monument of Raimondo di Sangro.

In the basement, there is also an important collection, the "anatomical mannequin" made by Italian anatomist Giuseppe Salerno, which clearly shows the bones, arterial system and internal organs of the two men.

In the Sacristy, the marble decoration of the 17th century chapel, fragments of the labyrinth floor of the 18th century chapel, a monument to the tombs of members of the di Sangro family, and the oil painting "Madonna and Jesus" by Italian painter Giuseppe Pesce are on display.
