The Certosa di San Martino offers up a treasure trove of De Mura paintings and frescoes. The museum staff is friendly and helpful, copying their records and files for us. I snapped this in the wonderful, old church-turned-museum. Maria Grazia, (you met her earlier, she’s our friend from the Pio della Miseriacordia) met us later at the Nunziatella, an Italian military school where De Mura painted the chapel ceilings. Instead of pews, the chapel has row upon row of red velvet chairs. His work is so beautiful there, we shake our heads as to why he has never had an exhibition!
