Raimondo di Sangro y el significado de la Cappella Sansevero
Abstract
The origins of the Cappella Sansevero in Naples date back to the end of the 16th century, but it reached its peak of splendour in the second half of the 18th century. The embellishment of this family mausoleum was the work of the seventh prince of the Sansevero house: Don Raimondo di Sangro, a man versed in countless arts and whose life was marked by controversy and the affection of his contemporaries. Both his patron and the temple have been the subject of myths and legends, due to the hermetic, alchemical and masonic symbolism present in the chapel.
