Church of 1620 on the Fonseca hill, in the Stella district, also dedicated since 2003 to Saint Jeanne-Antide Thouret.

At the time it was outside the walls, and from the hill one could see the largo delle Pigne, today's piazza Cavour.Enlarged in the 19th century and damaged by bombing, since 2003 it has also been dedicated to Saint Jeanne-Antide Thouret, the French saint who in Naples devoted herself to the sick of the Incurabili and founded the Sisters of Charity.
