Originally built in the 15th-century as the Palazzo Sanseverino, the Renaissance Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo, on the north side of Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, was consecrated as a church by the Jesuits in the 16th century. The unusual façade is made up of rows of square, three-dimensionally pointed stones, broken only by the highly-ornamented main door. The interior’s opulent wall-to-ceiling baroque frescoes were created by, among others, Cosimo Fanzago, Francesco Solimena and Luca Giordano. A chapel within the building is given over to the life of St Giuseppe Moscati, a local doctor who dedicated himself to Naples’ poor and was canonized in 1977, 50 years after his death
