    Guided tour of the Church and the underground cemetery. There is kept, among many skulls, the skull with ears that has always been a point of reference for the Neapolitans who came to him to hear their prayers. Having ears made it easier for the skull soul to intermediate to give miracles and favors. The church was reopened by the Breathe Art Association after 30 years of neglect: the idea is to save the monuments by creating jobs for young people.
