Cappella di Santa Maria <strong>del</strong>la Misericordia<br />

Della Cappella di S. Maria <strong>del</strong>la Misericordia, detta<br />

successivamente anche Cappella di S. Francesco,<br />

oggi non resta che la facciata.<br />

Fu edificata <strong>in</strong> esecuzione <strong>del</strong> testamento di Ottavio<br />

de Fusco (un discendente <strong>del</strong> notar Gio. Loisio<br />

de Fuscolis, che fu, agli <strong>in</strong>izi <strong>del</strong> 1500, il primo notaio<br />

santegidiano e uno dei primi s<strong>in</strong>daci particolari<br />

<strong>del</strong>l’Università), redatto dal notaio Gio. Lorenzo<br />

Buon<strong>in</strong>conti, il 25 settembre 1623. La Cappella<br />

<strong>del</strong>la Misericordia, con la scomparsa degli eredi<br />

<strong>del</strong>la Famiglia de Fusco, appartenne alle famiglie<br />

<strong>del</strong> notaio Geronimo Buon<strong>in</strong>conti e a quella <strong>del</strong><br />

dottor fisico V<strong>in</strong>cenzo Spagnuolo.<br />

The Chapel of Holy Mary of Mercy<br />

Only the facade still rema<strong>in</strong>s of the chapel of Holy Mary<br />

of Mercy later known also as the Chapel of St. Francis.<br />

It was built accord<strong>in</strong>g to Ottavio de Fusco’s will which<br />

was drawn up by the notary Gio. Lorenzo Buon<strong>in</strong>conti<br />

on the 25th September 1623. The former was a descendant<br />

of xxxxxx Gio. Loisio de Fuscolis who, at the<br />

beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g of the 1500s, was the first public notary from<br />

Sant’Egidio and one of the first dist<strong>in</strong>ctive syndicates of<br />

the University. After the death of the heirs of the de<br />

Fusco family, the Chapel of Mercy became patrimony of<br />

the family of the notary Geronimo Buon<strong>in</strong>conti and the<br />

Nel 1710 risultava “diruta”, ma fu oggetto di una<br />

ristrutturazione, perchè, nel 1721, il Vescovo Nicola<br />

De Dom<strong>in</strong>icis la dice “da poco edificata” e riporta<br />

che il beneficiario era un tal Domenico Antonio<br />

Attianese.<br />

Dal 1777 al 1801 non vi si celebrarono più messe<br />

a causa di una nuova precarietà strutturale <strong>del</strong><br />

suppenno. Nel 1831, tuttavia, la cappella fu trovata<br />

<strong>in</strong> buone condizioni da mons. Francesco Saverio<br />

Calenda.<br />

Oltre al bel portale di <strong>in</strong>gresso, restano tracce di affreschi<br />

di santi nelle nicchie laterali <strong>del</strong>la facciata.<br />

physicist V<strong>in</strong>cenzo Spagnuolo.<br />

In 1710 it resulted destroyed but was subject to restauration<br />

because <strong>in</strong> 1721 Bishop Nicola De Dom<strong>in</strong>icis said<br />

it had been “recently built” and named the beneficiary<br />

as a certa<strong>in</strong> Domenico Antonio Attianese.<br />

From 1777 to 1801 masses were no longer celebrated<br />

<strong>in</strong> the chapel because of the new precariousness of the<br />

structure of the “suppeno”.<br />

In 1831, however, the chapel was found to be <strong>in</strong> good<br />

condition by Monsignor.Francesco Saverio Calenda.<br />

Besides the beautiful entrance way there are still some<br />

frescoes of sa<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>in</strong> the side niches of the facade.
