The Catacombs in Naples branch out into two sepulchral complexes, San Gaudioso and San Gennaro. Never a place of death (“quae perpetuo cunctos absorbet hiatu”, “that swallows everyone in its eternal abyss”, as you can read on one of the epigraphs scattered in these hypogea), they have been brought back to life by the efforts of young adults from Rione Sanità.

Father Antonio Loffredo, of the Basilica of Santa Maria alla Sanità, explains: “For years, one of the most neglected districts in Naples almost unknowingly held its most precious asset underground. Now that treasure has been brought back to light.”
