High Altar
by SANTACROCE, Girolamo, Marble
The High Altar in the church of Sant’Agnello Maggiore (also called Sant’Aniello in Caponapoli) depicts the Madonna delle Grazie (Our Lady of Grace) between Sts Cataldo and Agnello presenting to the Virgin Giovanni Maria Poderico, archbishop of Taranto and Signor Federico Sodorico, father of St Agnello. Agnello of Naples or Aniello the Abbot (535-596, Naples) was a Basilian and later Augustinian monk, now co-patron of the city of Naples.
