Step by Step

The Sansevero Chapel, situated in the heart of Naples, is a treasure of Baroque art that houses the famous sculpture of the Veiled Christ, the work of the sculptor Giuseppe Sanmartino. This piece is recognised worldwide for the delicacy with which the marble veil covers the body of Christ, creating a striking illusion of transparency and realism.

On this guided tour, an art history expert will reveal the secrets behind the creation of this masterpiece and the legends surrounding the chapel.

As well as the Veiled Christ, you’ll explore other artistic gems in the chapel, such as the anatomical models – two preserved human bodies featuring a surprisingly detailed system of veins and arteries. You’ll also discover the frescoes and sculptures that adorn the chapel, each with a fascinating story linked to the noble family of Raimondo di Sangro, Prince of Sansevero.

    A good tour, although with so many people around it’s sometimes hard to stop as often as you’d like. The commentary was excellent.
