Give Pulcinella's big nose a scratch

The Sanctuary  The large complex, visible for its elevated position with respect to the entire plain, is connected to the street level through a large and suggestive staircase in piperno. The building, constructed in the 17th century around the small original temple, bears the signature of the architect Giovanni Paolo di Ambrogio di San Severino. It has a Greek cross plan with a single nave: in the center of the transept stands a majestic dome. The façade is adorned with a beautiful portal with Corinthian columns. Inside the church there is a small temple built by the feudal lord Girolamo Barone and most likely created by Cosimo Fanzago. In this temple there is a painting of the Madonna, in grotesque style, attributed to the painter Tommaso di Stefano. The octagonal drum of the temple is frescoed with images and episodes of the life of the Madonna. On the outside there are eight false windows, interspersed with images of the eight prophets. On the frame, supported by double pillars, you can admire the frescoes of Belisario Corinzio, representing themes inspired by the Divine Comedy: the Dance of Death, the Last Judgement, Hell and Paradise. To the left of the Sanctuary there is a small cloister, with a central pillar and a canopy, as well as the museum of the sanctuary, which houses the remains of works of art, altar marbles, a wooden pulpit, some chandeliers and the photographic reproduction of the works that were destroyed in the fire of 1989.

Even from the beach of Castellammare di Stabia, a town with over 60,000 inhabitants in the province of Naples, you can easily observe the top of Vesuvius. The volcano is imposing and often characterizes the skyline of these areas.

Because it's worth it even for those who don't believe

With this view, just hope that there are no ☁️ at the summit

Strategically positioned in a typical Neapolitan street, this statue does not go unnoticed. Tourists flock to the surrounding streets, attracted by the promise of luck and prosperity that Pulcinella brings. It is a deep-rooted tradition to touch Pulcinella’s nose, which brings good luck and fortune to adventurers and visitors who immerse themselves in the magical atmosphere of the pulsating heart of Naples.

From the small square of Seiano you can enjoy a beautiful view of Vico Equense, the Gulf of Naples and Vesuvius. There are also benches to rest and a fountain to refill your water bottle.
