What To Expect

Come to: Chiesa Museo di Santa Luciella ai Librai, Vico Santa Luciella 5, 80138, Naples Italy for a guided tour. There is an underground cemetery filled with skulls, and one of the most famous skulls is known as "the skull with ears." This skull was believed to grant miracles and favors due to its 'ears,' which made it easier for the soul to intercede. After being abandoned for 30 years, the Breathe Art Association has taken charge of the church in order to save this monument and create jobs for young people.
