The Cappella Sansevero, also known as the Chapel of Our Lady of Pietà, is one of the most important museums in Naples. One of its treasures is the marble statue of Cristo Velato, completed in 1753. The hard marble takes on a soft texture in the hands of Giuseppe Sammartino. The body of Jesus is covered with a layer of gauze, which fits the curves of the body perfectly. The gauze on the face can even clearly show the expression of Jesus after the crucifixion. Every detail is fascinating, and even Master Canova praised this work. 📍San Severo, Naples, Italy When you come to Naples, don’t forget to experience how the master artist shapes the hard marble into a gauze-like texture. Each statue has its own unique story. It is not just a cold stone sculpture, but also the artist's interpretation of life. Every statue here seems to have a soul, exuding a mysterious and strong vitality. 📌Tips: Opening hours: 9:00-18:30 daily Closed on Tuesdays It is best to make an appointment in advance. There is a high probability of long queues or not being able to buy tickets on site. By the way, I recommend 🇮🇹Four churches worth visiting in Naples 5⃣️ Wandering around the city of Naples, every church opens its doors to welcome you, so naturally we have to go in and take a look. Here are a few places I think you can’t miss. 1⃣️Museo Cappella Sansevero: There are no religious activities now, it is only for visiting. "Veiled Christ" and "Il Disinganno" are very, very, very shocking. It is hard to imagine that these textures are carved out of solid marble. Tickets are 10 euros (including a 2 euro booking fee), but it's definitely worth it. 📍 Via Francesco de Sanctis, 19/21 2⃣️Basilica Santuario di Maria Santissima del Carmine Maggiore: This was the first⃣️ church we visited in Naples. I can only describe my feeling at that time in one sentence: I thought it was a bronze, but it turned out to be a king". Apart from anything else, the exquisite ceiling alone would definitely be a World Heritage Site in Germany, and it doesn't even appear in the Wiki introduction, so you can imagine how amazing the other sculptures and paintings are. 📍 Piazza del Carmine, 2 3⃣️Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo: It belongs to the Society of Jesus and is where Saint Giuseppe Moscati is buried. Many believers still come here to worship and pray. The church itself is also majestic and magnificent. 📍 Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, 2 4⃣️Naples Cathedral (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta): The cathedral of the Archdiocese of Naples, it is of a very high level and has a long history (the Diocese of Naples can be traced back to the 1st century AD). It preserves the blood of St. Jannarez. It is said that a miracle occurs twice a year: the coagulated and dried blood turns into liquid. There is a small chapel inside the church, and the sunlight shining through the glass is like holy light. 📍 Via Duomo, 147 ⛪️These places are not far from each other and are scattered in the old town of Naples. You can use this as a clue to travel around the old town; except for Sansevero, which requires tickets to be purchased online in advance, the others are free to enter, but the opening hours are slightly different.
