Lonely Planet review

Benignly presided over by a quartet of tubby gilt cherubs, this modest 14th-century church contains one of the first great artworks to grace the Neapolitan Renaissance - the majestic tomb of Cardinal Brancaccio, the church's founder. Although considered a part of Naples' artistic heritage, the sarcophagus was actually sculpted in Pisa. After a year chipping away at it, the artists shipped it down to Naples in 1427.
