Churches in Italy

Italy's churches beyond the great basilicas and cathedrals hold some of its best art: the Veiled Christ in the Sansevero Chapel in Naples, Caravaggio in San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome, the rock church of Santa Maria di Idris in Matera, the Norman mosaics of the Martorana in Palermo and San Michele in Foro in Lucca.
