The Ruffo family's private Baroque chapel in their palazzo on piazza Dante, with a Saint Rufus in Glory by Francesco Solimena.

On piazza Dante, inside Palazzo Ruffo di Bagnara, founded in 1660, is the private chapel of the Ruffo family. It is reached by a piperno staircase, in front of a doorway in the same stone topped by a small bell tower.It is a refined example of Neapolitan Baroque in miniature. On the high altar awaits the Saint Rufus in Glory by Francesco Solimena, one of the great painters of the 18th century.
