The tailors' oratory at Caponapoli, bought in 1583 by their guild; on the façade, the coat of arms with scissors.

In largo Madonna delle Grazie, at Caponapoli, there is a small oratory with a curious detail: a coat of arms with scissors is carved on its tuff façade. It is the emblem of the tailors' guild, which bought the building in 1583 and dedicated it to Saint Homobonus, their patron, and to Saint Michael.The interior retains altars and furnishings, while Francesco Pagano's polyptych of Saint Michael is now in the Capodimonte Museum. The exterior, sadly, is in poor condition, like that of the nearby church.
