THE MEETING PLACE OF THE ANNUNCIATION
 

The Meeting Place of the Annunciation (also know as 'of the Foresi') was founded in 1619 by Father Antonio De Colellis. The structure, going back to the beginning of 1600, had been part of the first ancient farm building which was adapted as a monastery by Fr. Carafa.
The Meeting Place is pleasantly constructed. It has an original marble floor with decorations typical of Naples in the year 600. Its first official document is dated 1611.
It was compiled by Pope Paul V and sent to "the Friendly Confraternity of the Souls in Purgatory, situated in the church of St. Mary of the Mountains in the suburb of S. Anthony Abbot on the Lower Slope of Capo de Monte of the city of Naples".
