Oratorian convent complex in Naples's historic centre, whose library opened to the public in 1586 and is the oldest in the city and second-oldest in Italy. Redesigned in the eighteenth century by Arcangelo Guglielmelli, it holds around 160,000 volumes, including incunabula and Giambattista Vico's personal collection, and reopened in 2022 after a lengthy restoration following a 2012 theft scandal.
