Basilica di San Lorenzo Maggiore
San Lorenzo Maggiore is a church in Naples, Italy. It is located at the precise geographic center of the historic center of the ancient Greek-Roman city, at the intersection of via San Gregorio Armeno and via dei Tribunali. The name "San Lorenzo" may also refer to the new museum now opened on the premises, as well as to the ancient Roman market beneath the church itself, the Macellum of Naples. The church's origins derive from the presence of the Franciscan order in Naples during the lifetime of St Francis of Assisi, himself. The site of the present church was to compensate the order for the loss of their earlier church on the grounds where Charles I of Anjou decided to build his new fortress, the Maschio Angioino in the late 13th century.

Via San Gregorio Armeno
The crib tradition of San Gregorio Armeno has a remote origin: in the street in classical times there was a temple dedicated to Ceres, to which the citizens offered small terracotta statuettes as ex voto, manufactured in the nearby shops. The birth of the Neapolitan nativity scene is naturally much later and dates back to the end of the eighteenth century. Today via San Gregorio Armeno is known all over the world as the exhibition center of the craft shops located here that now all year round make statuettes for nativity scenes, both canonical and original (usually every year the most eccentric artisans make statuettes with the features of characters of stringent topicality that perhaps stood out positively or negatively during the year).
Duomo di Napoli
