Church near Porta Capuana with a fine Renaissance piperno doorway; its conservatory was directed by Alessandro Scarlatti.

In piazza Enrico De Nicola, a stone's throw from Porta Capuana, stands Sant'Onofrio alla Vicaria. In the 16th century the complex took in women in difficulty; in the 17th century it became a conservatory for poor children.That conservatory was directed by masters such as Alessandro Scarlatti and Francesco Durante. Let's look at the façade: the piperno Renaissance doorway is well proportioned and decorated, topped by a 16th-century statue of Saint Onuphrius, sadly very worn.
