Il Museo-Laboratorio
In the last few years, the church of Sant’Aspreno ai Crociferi has witnessed the creation of some of Jago’s works, such as the Pietà. Today it becomes a museum, housing a multitude of sculptures in an ever-changing display.
The Jago Museum aims to develop innovative projects of information, entertainment, and inclusion through art and the enhancement of the historical-artistic heritage of the Rione Sanità, a historic neighborhood of Naples.
THE PLACE
The church of Sant’Aspreno ai Crociferi
The Church of Sant’Aspreno ai Crociferi is a magnificent 1633 Baroque building located at the entrance to the Sanità district of Naples. The current layout, with a Latin cross plan, side chapels, and a single nave, dates back to 1760 and is the work of architect Luca Vecchione.
The complex, located a short walk from the historic center of the city of Naples, is the starting point for discovering a neighborhood rich in history, art, and culture, where the sculpture of the Veiled Son in the church of San Severo fuori le mura is also on display.
“Today the Basilica of St. Aspreno ai Crociferi reopens to the public, restored, brought into the world like a son, once again to embrace.”
