The history of Sacro Monte di Pietà Chapel is closely related to the one of Monte di Pietà that was by two Neapolitan gemntlemen, Leonardo de Palma and Aurelio Paparo established in 1539 to fight usury and to help the poor who often had to borrow money to solve their everyday problems. The chapel, entirely frescoed, is a real jewel of Manneristic elegance even if, through the centuries, several works of art added to them.
