Lonely Planet review for Chiesa della Pietà dei Turchini

Originally a poorhouse, this modest 16th-century church takes its name from the turchino (deep blue) uniforms the children used to wear. Fashion aside, it's known as a historic conservatory and birthplace of the famous Neapolitan musical group Pietà dei Turchini. One of the conservatory's most famous alumni was the composer Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725).
