Our meeting point will be the church of San Gregorio Armeno. From the first access, the splendor will completely overwhelm you: from the ceiling, passing through the pulpits and chapels. Our journey will continue to Piazzetta Nilo, with the large sculpture of the Nile God, and the next stop is the church of Gesù Vecchio. The Jesuit order used the spectacularness of the Baroque to directly strike the faithful, who also became a spectator. This is precisely the first mother church of the order. Over time, and with the exponential increase in the power and importance of the Order of the Jesuits in Naples, a new building was chosen as a reference point: we are heading towards the church of Gesù Nuovo, located in the square of the same name. It was a civil building, Palazzo Sanseverino, then disused and used as a sacred building. The entrance is truly spectacular! The last stop is the the cloister of Santa Chira: in an almost mystical peace, the most precious maiolicas of the city.

The journey to Puglia takes us to this town in the province of Foggia, which receives 6 million visitors every year. All thanks to the figure of St. Pius, who lived and did good works here. Beloved and controversial figure, he is undoubtedly the great protagonist of the history of Catholicism of the last century. A reputation that lasts for decades, if not centuries, to come. He thanks a small town in the Gargano, which saw its tourism explode thanks to the portentous presence of this man. In San Giovanni Rotondo, Padre Pio spent almost all his life, and he did the works there. The faithful look to miracles, but even those who do not believe cannot deny the influence that the humble Capuchin friar has had on the masses. A great personality. Whether you are believers or not, the cult of San Pio can be an excuse to visit a delightful village in the country, those that can only be admired if you opt for holidays in Italy.
