Chiesa di San Giuseppe dei Nudi, Naples

About this building
The church was commissioned by the Archconfraternity and Royal Mount of San Giuseppe, which was founded in 1740 and gathered distinguished noblemen, lawyers, artists and prelates willing to contribute to charitable causes. The Bastone di San Giuseppe (St. Joseph’s stick), an object of popular devotion, has been kept here for centuries.
