Raimondo de Sangro, Prince of Sansevero
The Chapel of Sansevero is situated in the historical centre of Naples.
Raimondo de Sangro was a prince, a man of letters and a scientist.
In Naples there are also any legends about him( for example, if you are a student at university, you can't see the very famous Velied Christ because you will not pass the exams).
Maybe he used for his experiments alive women and men.
Raimondo died in 1771.

In this place mystery and legend blend and transport the visitor into the fantastic world of Prince Raimondo de Sangro.

Raimondo had a superb mind for his times: a man of letters and a scientist of insatiable curiosity . This gave rise to the Neapolitans nicknaming him the “wizard”.
In 1744, on the Prince’s own wishes, the Chapel was restored and embellished with various works of art. Today, it is best known for three of the statues which adorn it, the physical execution of which still remains a mystery. Two of them, including the very famous “Veiled Christ”, the work of the sculptor Sammartino, seem to be covered by veils of transparent marble, which is, however, homogenous with the marble of the forms beneath, while the third is covered by a marble net apparently added afterwards yet also perfectly homogenous with the statue. One of the hypotheses is that this is the result of a procedure invented by the Prince.
Among the Prince’s many inventions, the most noteworthy are an “eternal light”.
With his death, in 1771, the Prince took numerous secrets of his art with him to the grave.

In the historic center of Naples, there is a singular chapel dating back to XVIII Century: the
Cappella San Severo. Raimondo de Sangro, Prince of San Severo, and owner of the chapel, was
a scientist, but its popularity is linked to his activity as an alchemist, and for this reason he had
the reputation of being a magician.
The Prince restored the chapel in 1774, adding various art pieces. One of these is considered
a true masterpiece: the "Veiled Christ". The statue is made of marble, but the body of Christ
seems really covered by a transparent veil, and is attributed to Giuseppe Sammartino, but,
according to the legend, the transparent veil was directly created by the Prince, with a process he
invented.
Prince Raimondo also devised an "eternal light" and the famous "anatomical machines". These
are two skeletons, one male and one female, with the arterial and venous circulatory system
perfectly preserved.
Prince Raymond died in 1771, and since then the legends on his alchemic activity grew up. It
was said that he would kill seven cardinals and their bones and skin were used to made some
chairs. According to another tale he also knew the secret to liquefy the clotted blood, as happens
in the so called “miracle of San Gennaro”. Perhaps the most fascinating legend is that about his
ghost, which still walks every night around the historic center of Naples.
