Church of medieval origin at the Banchi Nuovi, founded to help the poor; in the 18th century the seat of a congregation of musicians.

In piazzetta Ecce Homo, near the Banchi Nuovi, this church was founded in the Middle Ages by devout Neapolitans who wanted to help the blind, the lame and the beggars living on the streets.In 1766 it became the seat of a congregation of "professors of music", formed by the union of two archconfraternities. On the façade a fresco depicts Santa Maria degli Angeli. A place linked to the great Neapolitan musical tradition.
