Nineteenth-century church at the Guantai, Chiaiano, built in 1877 by the priest Luigi Di Martino with the help of local people.

On the slopes of the Camaldoli hill, in the Guantai area of Chiaiano, stands the church of Regina Paradisi. It was born of the generosity of a local priest, Don Luigi Di Martino, who built it at his own expense on his own land.The inhabitants contributed by giving their free time, and in 1877 the church opened. Later passed to the founder's nephews, it has remained a landmark for the small hillside community: an example of popular faith far from the tourist trail.
