Lonely Planet review for Chiesa San Pietro a Maiella

Dedicated to hermit Pietro del Morrone, upgraded to Pope Celestine V in 1294, this church is a striking combo of 14th-century Gothic restraint and blingy baroque. The latter is exemplified by its rich wooden ceiling, featuring 10 superlative paintings by Mattia Preti. Further baroque touches are provided by Cosimo Fanzago and Massimo Stanzione, whose Madonna Appearing to Celestine V hangs in one of the side chapels on the right. Naples Conservatory – one of Italy’s finest music schools – is housed in the adjoining convent.
