Santa Marta is a Roman Catholic church located on Via Benedetto Croce (part of Spaccanapoli, in central Naples, Italy. It is located parallel to the convent of Santa Chiara, and stands in front of the Palazzo Filomarino della Rocca. ==History== The church was founded in the 14th century by Margherita di Durazzo, mother of King Ladislaus of Naples. The original architect was Andrea Ciccione. Originally belonging to an aristocratic Confraternity, it passed on to a confraternity of Ricamatori. The aristocratic confraternity kept a codex that serves as a contemporary annotation of the heraldry of the nobility of the era.〔(Archivio di Stato di Napoli ), miniato della Confraternita di Santa Marta.〕 During the Masaniello's Revolution of 1647, the church was sacked and burned. Destroyed was a painting of ''St Lazarus'' by Cesare Turco, a ''Virgin'' by Bartolomeo Guelfo of Pistoia, and portraits of Margherita e Ladislao. After the revolution, the Prince of Rocca Filomarino, whose palace was in front, rebuilt the church. A further restoration occurred in 1715. The facade and walls retain some elements of the 14th century church. The main altarpiece has ''San Marta'' by Andrea Vaccaro and Nicola Vaccaro; a ''Virgin with Saints Giuseppe and Gennaro'' by either Ferdinando Sanfelice, or Giovanni Bernardo Lama; a ''Birth of the Virgin'' by Salvatore Giusti, and a small ''Virgin and child'' by Pacecco de Rosa.〔(Guida Sacra della citta di Napoli ) per Gennaro Aspreno Galante, 1873, page 111-112.〕 The church is only sporadically open and in need of restoration. 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 Marta, Naples」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
