The «Misericordiella» at the entrance to the Borgo dei Vergini, linked to the hospice for poor priests founded in 1532.

On the corner of Via Fuori Porta San Gennaro and Via Misericordiella, right at the entrance to the Borgo dei Vergini, stands Santa Maria della Misericordia, which Neapolitans call the «Misericordiella».It is part of a complex with the former hospital and the oratory of the Archconfraternity of the Nobles. It all began in 1532, when the priest Benedetto Tizzone, with the help of the Count of Oppido, opened a hospice here for poor priests.
