The Basilica dell'Incoronata Madre del Buon Consiglio, Is A Neapolitan Church, Located On The Hillside Leading Up To The Capodimonte Palace And Art Museum, And Is Visible From Many Quarters Of The City.

The Church Has Its Roots In Two Miracles Observed By Local Girl Maria di Gesù Landi (January 21, 1861 – March 26, 1931). Known For Her Devotion To Our Lady Of Good Counsel, She Created A Painting Of The Saint In 1884, Which Apparently Stopped An Outbreak Of Cholera In The City In That Year. 22 Years Later, The Same Painting Appeared To Clear The Ash Clouds From The 1906 Eruption Of Mount Vesuvius.

Vincenzo Vecchio Designed The Church In Imitation Of St. Peter's In Rome. The Church Was Constructed Between 1920 And 1940, On Top Of The Ancient Catacombs Of San Gennaro. It Has Become The Destination Of Pilgrimages In The Name Of Maria di Gesù Landi. The Church Houses A Number Of Works Of Art Rescued From Closed, Damaged, Or Abandoned Houses Of Worship In The City, Together With The Remains Of Thee Former Cardinal Archbishops Of The Metropolitan See Of Naples : Alessio Ascalesi C.Pp.S., († 1952), Corrado Ursi († 2003), And Michele Giordano († 2010). Suor Maria di Gesù Landi And The Princesses Of House Of Savoy, Also Lie Buried Inside The Basilica.

Legend Has Already Attached Itself To The Church: The Earthquake Of 1980, Toppled The Head Of The Statue Of The Madonna From The Top Of The Church To The Ground, Where It Crashed And Lay Inexplicably Undamaged.
