Step inside one of Naples’ hidden artistic treasures: Pio Monte della Misericordia, a historic charitable institution and Baroque church located in the heart of the old town. Founded in the early 17th century by a group of noblemen dedicated to works of mercy, the complex still preserves its original spirit of compassion and beauty. Inside the church, you’ll find Caravaggio’s celebrated painting “The Seven Works of Mercy”, an extraordinary masterpiece that combines dramatic light, human emotion, and divine inspiration. Surrounding the main altar, you can admire other artworks by important Neapolitan artists such as Battistello Caracciolo, Fabrizio Santafede, and Francesco De Mura. The adjacent gallery and historical archives display centuries of artistic donations, religious objects, and portraits that narrate the deep connection between art and charity in Naples.
