The church and the convent were built by friars for the Redemption of Captives of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy . They sited it at the site by buying in the 17th century the palace of the Belmosto brothers . In this era , noble families were abandoning the low-lying neighborhoods of Naples for higher ground . The monastery later passed on to the Trinitarians , giving its present name . In 1809 , the monastery was suppressed . The 1980 Irpinia earthquake , caused the church to be closed . Only in 2008 was the ceiling resealed . The facade is in a dilapidated state . The interior has a frescoed ceiling
