The history of votive shrines
Once the historic center of Naples was not illuminated: the first lighting of the city streets was activated by the initiative of Father Gregorio Rocco, who had the famous ones installed in the alleys votive kiosks of the city, entrusting the citizens with the task of keeping them always illuminated.
A new cultural lighting
More than 300 years later, the association Opportunity decided to install in the Vicolo della Cultura aunt cultural newsstands occupied by as many works and sculptures which will be exhibited periodically in the alley.
The light of culture thus joins that of faith in Opportunity's project, which will also install one in the Vicolo della Cultura free and open library.
Fundraising
