SS Severino e Sosso, Naples: the high altar

NOTES: The foundations of the present church were begun in 1490 by the architect Giovanni Francesco Mormanno. It was completed in the 1560s by his son-in-law Giovan Francesco di Palma detto Mormanno, when the cupola was added. The church was redecorated in the 18th century but restored to its 16th century state in the mid 20th century. The high altar is attributed to Cosimo Fanzago, athough the statues shown here are later.
