Seventeenth-century oratory in the Cerriglio area, below Santa Maria la Nova, with Rococo decoration and a majolica floor.

On via del Cerriglio, below the Santa Maria la Nova complex, Father Lorenzo Fasano founded this oratory with his archconfraternity in 1620. In 1656 the congregation grew rich thanks to bequests from those struck by the plague.Let's climb the 33 steps of the entrance stair: the hall welcomes us with Rococo decoration, a large fresco by Crescenzo Gamba on the ceiling, an 18th-century majolica floor and canvases of the Passion of Christ along the walls.
