A 16th-century church beside the Spirito Santo, with 18th-century polychrome marble altars and panels by Girolamo Imparato.

This church was built in the 16th century beside the church of the Spirito Santo, as the seat of the Archconfraternity of the Bianchi, a brotherhood of aristocratic origin that still meets here today. We are fascinated by the idea of a place that has kept the same function for centuries, a stone's throw from the bustle of Via Toledo.The interior shows the appearance given by the 18th-century restoration, with elegant altars in polychrome marble and canvases by Pietro Bardellino and Saverio Persico. We recommend pausing at the high altar, where the panel of the Madonna of All Saints by Girolamo Imparato belongs to the original decoration, together with that of the Redeemer: they were once part of a single altarpiece.
