Message from Giuseppe Re

The Catacombs of San Gaudioso in Naples, Italy, are a fascinating underground burial site that dates back to the 4th and 5th centuries AD. These catacombs were originally built as a resting place for St. Gaudiosus, a bishop from Tunisia who defied the Vandals and was exiled to Naples. Over time, the catacombs expanded and became a significant early Christian cemetery. Today, visitors can explore the ancient chambers filled with frescoes, mosaics, and tombs of nobles from the 17th century. It's a unique blend of history, art, and a touch of macabre charm that offers a glimpse into Naples' rich past.
