Step by Step

The tour starts with a central meeting point in Naples, where the guide will welcome you and take you into the alleys and squares of the old town, showing you how the city has been a cradle of culture, art and spirituality over the centuries. You will walk through emblematic areas, absorbing the lively atmosphere of Naples, its bridges between baroque, street and myth.

You will arrive at the Sansevero Chapel, where after the explanation you will enter inside to contemplate the Veiled Christ, sculpted in 1753 by Giuseppe Sanmartino. The sculpture is remarkable for its veil carved in marble with such realism that it appears to be woven smoothly over the body of Christ, a technical and artistic feat that has inspired admiration for centuries. Your guide will show you the details of the marble, the light, the shadows and the history behind this unique work.

In addition to the Veiled Christ, the tour includes other impressive sculptures inside the chapel such as Modesty and Disillusion, elements that complete a symbolic ensemble charged with emotion and meaning. You will also learn about the patron Raimondo di Sangro, his vision, his influence on local art and the legends surrounding both the sculpture and the chapel.

The tour also takes in the Chapel of Santa Chiara, famous for its tranquil cloister with gardens, decorative tiles and architecture that invites meditation. This part of the tour offers a contrast: moving from the urban bustle to a quieter atmosphere, perfect for reflection and admiring less obvious architectural and artistic details.
