Church and conservatory founded in 1579 by Giovanna Scorziata and the Paparo sisters on vico Cinquesanti.

On vico Cinquesanti, a stone's throw from via Tribunali, stands the Sacro Tempio della Scorziata, properly the church of the Presentation of Mary in the Temple. It was founded in 1579, together with a conservatory, by three noblewomen: Giovanna Scorziata and the sisters Lucia and Agata Paparo.Giovanna, a spiritual daughter of Saint Cajetan of Thiene, devoted herself entirely to this work after being widowed, and it still bears her name.
