Description
The church annexed to the Hospital Fatebenefratelli dates back to 1640; it was restored in 1711. The façade is by Romano Carapecchia. The interior, based on a single nave, holds a rich and harmonic eighteenth-century ensemble. The vault embodies the painting "Gloria di San Giovanni di Dio" by Corrado Giaquinto, also author of the canvases and the decoration of the vault in the presbytery; the widening of the painting on the high altar "La Vergine porge il Bambino a San Giovanni di Dio" is by Andrea Gennardi as well as "Transito di Sant'Antonio". Very beautiful are also the sacristy and the annexed room, both from the 1700s.
