L'église est un véritable chef-d'œuvre de [[Luigi Vanvitelli]], à tel point qu'elle devient le modèle de référence de l'architecture religieuse de la ville.

La [[façade]] se trouve entre deux immeubles d'habitation. Elle est de [[Baroque napolitain|style baroque]] et divisée horizontalement par une [[corniche]] de marbre et chacune verticalement par des [[lésène]]s de marbre d'[[ordre corinthien]].

L'intérieur de l'église est à plan central, le milieu recouvert d'une [[coupole]] appuyée sur un [[Tambour (architecture)|tambour]] et surmontée d'une lanterne. Il comprend aussi un avant-corps et un chœur avec quatre tribunes de chœur en haut. L'église abrite de nombreuses œuvres d'art, dont des toiles de [[Francesco de Mura]] (''Saint [[Vincent de Paul]] en gloire'', dans la première chapelle de droite) et de [[Giovanni Sarnelli]] (''La Conversion de saint Paul'', de 1787). Les tribunes du chœurs sont en racine de noyer et datent du {{s-|XVIII}} et le [[Piscine (lavabo)|lavabo]] (également du {{s-|XVIII}}) en marbre de la [[sacristie]], remarquable, est des mains du Napolitain Pascale Cartalano.

The Church of the Missione ai Vergini (Italian: Chiesa della Missione ai Vergini) is a church at 51 via Vergini in the historic centre of Naples, not far from the National Archaeological Museum of Naples.[1]

The Congregation of the Mission first set up a base in Naples in the 16th century, initially at Santa Maria dei Vergini, with a monastery alongside, thanks to a donation by the duchess of Sant'Elia, Marie-Josèphe de Brandis-Staremberg. In the 18th century they built a new monastery and church, under the supervision of Father Gargiani and to designs by Luigi Vanvitelli. These began in 1724 but only completed in 1760, with the facade (designed by an unknown architect) remaining incomplete until 1788. The building was damaged in the bombardment of Naples in 1943 and restored after the war.[2]
