A small church in the Quartieri Spagnoli, next to the Church of Santi Francesco e Matteo.

In the Quartieri Spagnoli, in the Montecalvario district, the Church of Santa Maria della Lettera stands next to the Church of Santi Francesco e Matteo, in the heart of the 16th-century grid of alleys.The name recalls devotion to the Madonna della Lettera, widespread in southern Italy. Little is known about its history; we suggest it as a stop for anyone exploring the neighbourhood's alleys in search of its many small churches.
