A place of Niche. - Little pearl to lose. Recovered by a group of highly motivated boys who with their dedication and love have allowed you to enjoy this mystical place, also visited by the great Alberto Angela. Exciting vision of the skull with ears. The guide will explain why it is called that. I don't want to take away the pleasure of surprise...

You can't miss a tour in Naples - Discovered by chance while wandering around Naples, the church of Santa Luciella was a pleasant discovery. It is very suggestive and run by professional and prepared guys. It is worth a visit.

An experience not to be missed - Small church with a long and interesting history told with passion and competence by young Neapolitans who have worked to recover it from degradation. Evidence of a cult to be discovered in the hypogeum of the church.

A gem in an alley - We recently visited this gem, discovered in an alley a few steps from S. Gregorio Armeno. The description by the Association staff who oversaw its recovery and restoration was very detailed and engaging. Highly recommended

wonderful experience - Having learned of this wonder, I went with my family to this church in the historic center of Naples. I congratulated the association that brought this structure back to life, the guided tour was very interesting and evocative in a truly exceptional context. Particular praise goes to the girl who acted as our guide and who took action in a commendable manner when my 12 year old daughter did not feel well, providing her care and attention. Keep going, Naples and the historic center need people like you intent on enhancing the enormous cultural heritage present in the city. I highly recommend the visit, it's really worth it

A gem - Small church in the heart of Naples, still little known but worth seeing for its particularity of the cult of the dead but above all for the beauty of the place itself and the people who manage it. Very beautiful experience especially thanks to the guide who was able to tell us the history of this incredible place with dedication and passion. I will definitely return.
