https://www.napolisotterranea.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/59.jpg720480Naples, a city that oscillates between the sacred and the profane, is full of stories and legends that have always borne witness to this. Among them is one in particular that revolves around the Church of Santa Luciella ai librai. This small sacred place in the historic center- which is just a stone's throw from Naples Underground - is remembered for its ancient worship of Santa Lucia, the patron saint of the eyes. And here is the reason why. It is said that the Corporation of Pipernieri (those who worked piperno, a very hard rock) relied on the saint for the protection of their eyesight, which was endangered by piperno splinters.
