Abstract
San Gennaro is the patron saint of Naples, martyred in Pozzuoli on 19 September at the time of Diocletian. However, for the Neapolitans rather than Patron Saint, San Gennaro is first and foremost reason of worship, known worldwide so that the inscription placed in the Treasury Chapel in the Cathedral of Naples which recognizes him as ‘Freeman, Patron, Defender’ of the city. Nevertheless, when and why the cult of San Gennaro was founded in Naples is still relatively unknown. The Museum of “Tesoro di San Gennaro” in Naples collects the testimonies of San Gennaro history. The students of “Graphic Creations” (prof. Ornella Zerlenga, Second University of Naples) designed a multimedial and interactive graphic scenography to tell us everythingI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
