This tour will attempt to shed some light on one of the most well-known and arcane attractions of Naples: the Chapel of the Sansevero family, whose Veiled Christ statue is considered a worldwide masterpiece. You will learn about the figure of Raimondo di Sangro, VII th Prince of Sansevero, an erudite alchemist who commissioned the Chapel as a mausoleum for his family, with the purpose of disseminating multiple meanings in it. At the heart of the Chapel, the Veiled Christ stands an unparalleled and yet mysterious sculpture, who fascinates for its amazing technical craftmanship. Not less interesting are the Anatomical Machines, two real human skeletons who served for an early scientific investigation of the bodily circulatory system.
We will meet in Naples city center, for about 30 minutes we can walk around or sit down for a coffee as I will introduce the figure of the Prince of Sansevero, his life and his inventions. After this, you will have the chance of seeing with your own eyes the several wonders of the Sansevero Chapel.
