Behind the Church of Santa Croce e Purgatorio, in the Piazza Mercato area, stands the Carminiello complex, commissioned by the Jesuits and originally dedicated to Saint Ignatius of Loyola.It was designed by Father Pietro Provedi, the same architect as the Gesù Nuovo: the college was begun in 1611 and the Greek-cross church in 1614. After the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767 it took its present name.
