18th-century church commissioned by Padre Rocco and designed by Bartolomeo Vecchione, now a cultural space for young people of the Sanità district.

This complex owes its existence to the charismatic Padre Rocco, who, after raising funds, bought the land for the church and convent in 1740. The project was entrusted to Bartolomeo Vecchione and the work was completed in 1758. On the façade, divided by pilasters, we are welcomed by a stucco bas-relief of the Immaculate Conception.Beyond the atrium you enter the single-nave hall, which today hosts cultural activities for the young people of the Sanità district: we like seeing an old place become useful to the neighbourhood again. In the presbytery, beneath a vault with rocaille stucco, we suggest looking for the tomb of Sabato Manso, dating from 1747, close to the style of Francesco Pagano.
