I will always remember Napoli (beyond all what said before) for one reason. This is here where i have seen the most impressive sculpture of my life (with the Michelangelo s David in Firenze) : the veiled christ in the Cappella Sansevero

The magnificence is unique ,the level of maestria it required to sculpt it was so impressive
Do not miss it!
i have to agree with that. The Veiled Christ is one of the artistic wonders of the world. The only work of art that moves me as much is the Pietà in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. If the Veiled Christ was in Rome or Florence, it would be known around the world, and there would be long lines. You can't take your eyes off of it because you can't believe it could be possible to make something so beautiful and obviously full of love.
