Sansevero Chapel Museum

What to expect

The Sansevero Chapel was transformed in the 18th century by Prince Raimondo di Sangro into a family memorial filled with elaborate sculptures, coded imagery, and experimental ideas.

• Veiled Christ: Stand before Giuseppe Sanmartino’s marble sculpture and examine how the carved veil appears to cling to Christ’s body while remaining part of the same block of stone.

• Disillusion: See Francesco Queirolo’s sculpture of a man freeing himself from a finely carved net, an allegory associated with knowledge and liberation.

• Modesty: Admire Antonio Corradini’s veiled figure, created as a memorial to Raimondo di Sangro’s mother.

• Anatomical Machines: View the male and female skeletons accompanied by detailed representations of veins, arteries, and internal circulation.

• Symbolic interior: Look across the chapel’s floor, ceiling, monuments, and decorative details while uncovering themes of virtue, mortality, and enlightenment.

• Audio guide upgrade: Listen to recorded commentary as you move through the chapel at your own pace.

• Guided tour upgrade: Join an English-speaking guide for a structured visit connecting the artworks to the life, experiments, and legends of Prince Raimondo di Sangro.
