Life.
Very little is known for certain about Andrea Vaccaro's early life. Andrea Vaccaro was born in Naples as the son of Pietro Baccaro and
decorated with polychrome marble and stucco, and has a peculiar detail of winged skulls, by Dionisio Lazzari, on the pilasters lateral to the main altarpiece. The church has altarpiece by Massimo Stanzione ("Virgin helps souls in Purgatory, 1638, main altarpiece), Andrea Vaccaro ("Transit of St Joseph", 1650-51, third chapel on right), and Luca Giordano ("Death and Ecstasy of St. Alessio, 1661, third chapel on left). 
To the left of the altar is the funeral
