Oratorio di San Lorenzo
A courtyard off Via Immacolatella leads into this small oratory, where Giacomo Serpotta’s stucco figures carry much of the visual story. Allow a deliberate indoor stop.
The white stucco scenes reward attention at close range rather than a hurried look from the door. San Lorenzo also has a powerful absence: Caravaggio’s Nativity was stolen from its altar in 1969. That history changes how the room and its empty frame read today.
