In Apice, in the Benevento area, on Sunday 12 May, visit to the Chapel of S. Marco, a noble chapel located on the ground floor of the Ettore Castle in Apice. Its foundation dates back to the 15th century, and was forbidden to the public for a long time.
Naples, 8 May – “For Chiese Aperte 2024, wonderful events also in Campania. We will open convents, monasteries, churches that are often closed but also private chapels within which it is possible to admire great masterpieces. It is a cultural heritage spread across cities, towns and districts. We will have large and small churches, but also private chapels, all rich in a priceless artistic heritage that still manages to communicate to the human soul today. May 12th will be the thirtieth edition of Chiese Aperte throughout Italy to get to know this great lesser-known heritage. We aim to protect, enjoy, but also enhance the sites”. She stated it Lucky Flora RizzoNational Vice President of Archeoclub D’Italia and Open Churches Representative.
For example in Apice, in the Benevento area. “In Apice, in the Benevento area, we will visit the Chapel of St. Mark, a noble chapel located on the ground floor of the Ettore Castle in Apice. Its foundation dates back to the 15th century. The Chapel is mentioned in the first description of the castle in 1626.
It remained closed to the public for several years – said Rizzo – as it was given in use to a telephone company, so that it was discovered by most of the Apicese only after the restoration of the entire castle. The chapel has a single nave and at the end there is an apse which houses the altar.
It has a size of approximately 60 m2. The Chapel is frescoed; in particular there is a mural painting in the vault, created in 1934 by the local artist Nicola Auciello. In Alife, however, in the Caserta area, visits from 10 am to the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Grazia with donation of the White Olive of the Madonna”.
