Volcano Vesuvio

In Secondigliano there is the Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian very famous. Inside, there is a crypt, where during World War II people were refugees because of the bombing. Now there are many skulls called "Capuzzele" because it became the place where the war dead were buried. There are so many legends about it ...

Secondigliano is a place where the art of the cribs is very important, an ancient Neapolitan tradition present in many churches. The Church of S. Maria della Natività has two very beautiful cribs, one with man-sized characters and another 1700 style.
