• Resumen

  • A study of the Cappella di San Ludovico di Tolosa in Naples Cathedral, Naples, Italy. This sepulchral chapel is believed to have been built between the late 13th and the early 14th centuries to house the tombs of members of the Angiò royal family. A number of documentary sources show that prior to the beginning of the cathedral's construction in 1294 and at least until the 1330s, those tombs were located in the Stefania church (today's Santa Restituta); that the chapel was private and royal, probably originating as a tribute from an eminent member of the royal family to the family's patron saint, but not a royal sepulchral chapel; and that the bodies of the royal family's members were moved into new 14th-century tombs on the main altar of the cathedral, where they remained until their dismantling in 1596.
