The "Rotonda di Fratte" in Salerno, a Catholic church funded by Protestant Swiss entrepreneurs.

On Via dei Greci, in Fratte, the Church of Santa Maria dei Greci, known as the "Rotonda di Fratte", has a curious history.When foreign textile industries settled in the district, the locals complained about the Protestant faith of the newcomers: it was the Swiss entrepreneurs themselves who funded the building of this Catholic church.
