Girolamini

Girolamini

Girolamini is the name of a church and monastery complex in Naples, southern Italy. It is located directly across from the Cathedral of Naples on via Duomo.

It is on the site of an earlier building, Palazzo Seripando, which was donated to the disciples of St._Phillip_Neri in 1586. The original building was demolished and construction started on the new premises in 1592 on plans by the architect Giovanni Antonio Dosio. The church is in the style of the Florentine Renaissance: a Latin cross with three naves and lateral chapels. Later architects, such as Ferdinando Fuga who rebuilt the façade in 1780, also worked on the building.

Members of the order were called "Girolamini" because the premises were the first site of the church of San Girolamo della Carità ("St. Jerome of Charity").
