Greek-cross church in the Pendino rebuilt by Giovanni Battista Manni in the 18th century on the site of Palazzo Villani; also called San Camillo.

In the Pendino district, between via del Grande Archivio and via de Blasiis, the church of the Divino Amore, also called San Camillo, stands on the site of Palazzo Villani: it was Beatrice Villani who commissioned it.In the early 18th century Giovanni Battista Manni rebuilt it on a harmonious, well-proportioned Greek-cross plan. It has no real façade, because it was built on pre-existing 16th-century structures: you enter through a corridor, like a little secret of the historic centre.
