The Monumental Complex of St. Anne of Lombardi (Santa Maria di Monte Oliveto), is a church in Naples dating back to the early 15th century. It was once one of Italy's largest monasteries, with numerous chapels throughout, and attracted patronage from the kings of Naples. Inside, visitors can find Renaissance art, frescoed ceilings, and 16th-century sculptures.
The Chapel of San Gennaro is steeped with religious imagery, but – believe it or not – the space in fact belongs to the laypeople and not the diocese. The deputation in charge of the chapel went to great pains to make sure the location devoted to their patron saint was worked on by only the best, so when you step inside it should come as no surprise that it is a treasure of Baroque art, with the influence of masters of 17th-century Italian art and sculpture visible throughout.
