A church in the Avvocata district founded in 1794 with a retreat for oblates and girls, later abandoned and reopened in the 20th century.

In the Avvocata district, the Church of Santa Maria della Provvidenza was founded in 1794 together with a retreat that housed around fifty people, Teresian oblates and girls in its care, in an old noble palazzo.The boarding school did not last long: by the mid-19th century the palazzo and church had been abandoned. At the beginning of the 20th century some volunteers rescued it and reopened it. A small story of rebirth in the neighbourhood.
