Santa Maria Della Sapienza
Santa Maria della Sapienza is a Roman Catholic church, located on Via Costantinopoli in central Naples, Italy. Facade History In 1507, the cardinal Oliviero Carafa, archbishop of Naples, began plans for construction at the site a University ''della Sapienza''. Work only began posthumously on lots purchased from Giovanni Latro, and Giampietro and Marino Stendardo. The site was converted into a Clarissan monastery, but membership of this monastery languished by 1535, and the remaining nuns were moved by Cardinal and Archbishop Giampietro Carafa (later Pope Paul IV), change into a Dominican order, under the pope's sibling, Maria, as abbess. Her relics became venerated in the church, which also contained relics of Saints Evaristo and Prisciano (siblings of San Fortunato); and the liquefying blood of St Stephen Protomartyr. The two sculpted roundels in the facade depict busts of Pope Paul IV and his sister Maria. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
