This view of Piazza San Gaetano in Naples unites sacred and everyday life. The statue honors St Gaetano (1480–1547), founder of the Theatine order and advocate for moral reform during the Counter-Reformation. Behind him rises the Baroque façade of San Paolo Maggiore, built atop a Roman temple, symbolizing Naples’ layered continuity of faith and history.
