In the heart of San Gregorio Armeno street, famous for the Neapolitan nativity scenes, there is an incredible underground hidden and mysterious place: the Church of Santa Luciella ai Librai. Founded in 1327, it became the private church of the Corporation of Stone Masons and Rock Cutters: they asked to Santa Luciella - Patron of the eyes - protection since they often risked their eyesight because of their job. The Church was entrusted to Respiriamo Arte Cultural Association - founded by 4 young Neapolitans - since 2016: they saved and reopened after 30 years of abandon and decay the Church, making it safe and usable! Beneath the Church the famous Skull with Ears is enshrined: since the 17th century, Neapolitans came to pray to it hoping that the skull, listening, would take their prayers to the afterworld, as a messenger between the world of the living and the world of the dead. I really hope that this experience will make you emotional as I do any time: a very special place, the real soul of Naples!

(outside) - We'll stroll down the San Gregorio Armeno street: famous worldwide for the artisans of the Nativity scenes, you'll be breathless about the beauty and the poetry of this little precious statues! You can't help about buying one: you'll take a piece of Naples with you! (outside) - Nestled in a corner of a narrow street, here you are Santa Luciella Church: a tiny precious church, that welcomes you with a dazzling majolica floor. The story of this place is absolutely stunning! (inside) - The skull with ears: going downstairs, in the lower cemetery, you'll immediately "meet" the skull with ears: you can even confess him your deepest desire! (inside)
