Theatine church in the San Lorenzo district, founded in 1631 after a mission to the Borgo Sant'Antonio Abate.

On the street of the same name, in the San Lorenzo district, stands Santa Maria Avvocata dei Peccatori. In 1631 the Theatine fathers, after a mission in the Borgo Sant'Antonio Abate, settled here in a Carafa palazzo and founded a convent.The church built afterwards was extensively rebuilt in the 18th century, because it was in danger of collapse. After the suppression of 1806, in 1816 the convent was entrusted to the priest Domenico Cutillo.
