The Basilica of Santa Maria della Sanità is a basilica church located over the Catacombs of San Gaudioso, on a Piazza near where Via Sanità meets Via Teresa degli Scalzi, in the Rione of the Sanità, in Naples, Italy. The church is also called San Vincenzo or San Vincenzo della Sanità, due to the cult of an icon of San Vincenzo Ferrer, also called locally O' Monacone (the big monk). ==History== The church was originally attached to a Dominican monastery founded in 1577. The church was built in a centralized Greek-cross plan from 1602 to 1613 using the architectural designs of Giuseppe Nuvolo. The main altar is elevated and accessed via flanking Baroque-style spiraling staircases, all sheathed polychrome marble. The entrance to the catacombs is beneath the altar, which was elevated above the site of the original chapel at the site.〔( Website of the Church of Santa Maria della Sanità )〕 The interior is decorated by painters such as: *Giovanni Balducci (''St Peter Martyr'' in right 2nd chapel) *Giovanni Bernardino Azzolini (''Rosary'' with small mysteries on the side and a ''Condemnation of the Albigensian Heretics'' in the large chapel and an ''Annuciation'' in 3rd chapel on left), *Andrea Vaccaro (''Marriage of St Catherine'' in right 4th chapel and ''St Catherine of Siena receives Stigmata'' in right 5th chapel) *Girolamo de Magistro (''Santa Lucia'' left large chapel) *Giovanni Vincenzo Forli (''Circumcision'' in large chapel on left) *Luca Giordano (''San Nicola with saints Ambrogio and Ludovico Beltrando below'' in the right first chapel, ''San Vicenzo'' in right 3rd chapel beside the original 5th century icon; also painted ''Virgin with St Rosa'' in left 2nd chapel, and a ''St Hyacinth a cui porge una scritta "gaude fliimi hyacinte"''.

In the 1500s, a 6th-century image of the Madonna and Child was uncovered here, and led to the establishment of this church. The marble pulpit dates from 1677 to 1705. The organ, now in disuse, dates from the early 1700s.〔( Entry in Churches of Naples )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Santa Maria della Sanità, Naples」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
