Highlights

The skull with ears tour


In the heart of San Gregorio Armeno, the street of cribs and artisans, there is a mysterious and hidden place: the Church of Santa Luciella ai Librai. It was founded by Bartolomeo Di Capua in 1327 and subsequently became a place of worship for the Guild of Pipernieri, Fabbricatori and Tagliamonti who entrusted the protection of sight to Santa Lucia, which was put at risk by their profession. The Association, founded by 4 young Neapolitans, has recovered the church both as a place of social inclusion and as an element of tourist development. In the basement of the church there is the famous Skull with Ears, from which the Neapolitans, until the mid-1900s, went to address their prayers, in the hope that by listening to them, he would take them directly to the afterlife: a real messenger between the world of the living and the dead.

    Nel cuore di San Gregorio Armeno, la strada dei presepi e degli artigiani, vi è un posto misterioso e nascosto: la Chiesa di Santa Luciella ai Librai. Fu fondata da Bartolomeo Di Capua nel 1327 e divenne successivamente luogo di culto per la Corporazione dei Pipernieri, Fabbricatori e Tagliamonti che proprio a Santa Lucia affidavano la protezione della vista, messa a rischio dal proprio mestiere. La Chiesetta, affidata all’Associazione Culturale Respiriamo Arte dal 2013, è stata salvata e riaperta al pubblico dopo 30 anni di abbandono. L’Associazione, fondata da 4 giovani napoletani, ha recuperato la chiesa sia come luogo di inclusione sociale che come elemento di sviluppo turistico. Nei sotterranei della chiesa è custodito il famoso Teschio con le Orecchie, da cui i napoletani, fino a metà del 1900, si recavano per rivolgergli le proprie preghiere, nella speranza che ascoltandole, le portasse direttamente nell’aldilà: un vero e proprio messaggero tra il mondo dei vivi e dei morti
