Church in Materdei linked to Saint Ludovico of Casoria and his work for poor children, the "Accattoncelli".

On via Amato di Montecassino, in Materdei, the church of Cor Jesu is linked to Saint Ludovico of Casoria. In 1872 the friar bought a boarding school here and moved to it the Opera degli Accattoncelli e delle Accattoncelle, which he had founded for street children.The first church was completed in 1886; the present one is a 20th-century rebuilding. It is also known as the church of Jesus in the Garden of Olives.
