Mystic Naples: private tour of San Severo Chapel & Poor Souls Church

Overview
An introduction to the myths, the mysteries and the darker sides of the city which you cannot ignore if you want a proper vision of Neapolitan history. Explore the beauty of San Severo Chapel, built for Raimondo di Sangro, Prince of Sansevero. It hosts the exquisitely-carved 'Veiled Christ' statue by Giuseppe Sanmartino. Learn about the superstitions of the Neapolitans when visiting the church of Santa Maria delle Anime del Purgatorio ad Arco where skulls were once "adopted" as recent as the 1980's for good luck. The lower church (only accessible by guided tour) is most famous as a hot spot for the cult-like worship of the anime pezzentelle (poor souls).
