Considered "the first painter today in Naples" as the authoritative father abbot D. Placido TroyIi, patrician and theologian, recognized in his General History of the Kingdom of Naples (Naples 1752, IV, 4, p. 445) Francesco de Mura in 1756 he executed the large canvas depicting the Virgin who intercedes near the SS. Trinity in favor of the souls in Purgatory for the crypt of the Archconfraternity of the SS. Trinity of the Pilgrims. The canvas is currently at the center of the choir and is a particularly important work of its maturity because reminiscences of Riber (in the senile backs) and even Caravaggesque (in the young angel gliding from above) converge.
