An oratory from 1589 of the Verdi confraternity in the Spirito Santo complex, with a floor of «riggiole» tiles.

In the Spirito Santo complex, on Via Toledo, the oratory of the Confraternity of the Verdi was built in 1589. The brothers took their name from the colour of their robes; the confraternity was also known as the Confraternity of Death.For two centuries it remained almost unchanged; then it received a floor of riggiole tiles by Scipione Vitale and new stucco work. An intimate space, linked to the great basilica next door.
