The former private chapel of the palace of the de' Grassi, lords of Pianura, with an 18th-century polychrome marble altar.

In the heart of Pianura, this archconfraternity has 18th-century origins: it began as the family chapel of the palace of the de' Grassi, lords of the hamlet from 1678. The chapel is documented from 1746 and still keeps the intimate atmosphere of noble oratories.We recommend going in to admire the fine 18th-century altar in polychrome marble, topped by a 17th-century painting of the Madonna of the Rosary. We like discovering these small treasures in the districts on the western outskirts of Naples.
