Pio Monte della Misericordia
-
This charitable institution was founded in 1601, inspired by Counter-Reformation precepts which gave weight to such works as a way of ensuring salvation. The church is set back from the street by a five-arch loggia, where pilgrims could find shelter. The altarpiece, The Acts of Mercy by Caravaggio, is a snapshot of a Neapolitan street in the 17th century.
