Church of the Pio Monte della Misericordia

  • Visit: about 20 min

Seventeenth-century church on the main decumanus that holds Caravaggio's Seven Works of Mercy.

In piazza Riario Sforza, along the main decumanus, the Pio Monte della Misericordia is one of the oldest charitable institutions in Naples. Its 17th-century church holds Caravaggio's canvas of the Seven Works of Mercy.It is a key painting for 17th-century art in the South, with a dramatic, agitated composition and no single centre. We also enjoy discovering the other 17th-century Neapolitan paintings: we recommend giving it the time it deserves.
