Santi Pietro e Paolo dei Greci

Santi Pietro e Paolo dei Greci (Greek: Άγιοι Πέτρος και Παύλος των Ελλήνων, romanized: Ágioi Pétros kai Pávlos ton Ellínon, lit.

'Saints Peter and Paul of the Greeks') is a church at the Campania, the historic center of Naples, in Via San Tommaso d'Aquino 51.

[1][2][3][4][5] The initial structure was dedicated to the Twelve Apostles, the church was built in 1518 at the behest of the Knight Thomas Asen Palaiologos, a descendant of the last Byzantine imperial dynasty.

[7] The famous Greek painter Belisario Corenzio was a member of the church confraternity and painted frescoes for it.

According to the Neapolitan historian Vincenzo Meola, Corenzio had the merit of transferring the church from its "native obscurity to its nobility".

[8][9] Towards the end of the 18th century, another famous Greek painter, Efstathios Karousos, completed more artwork for the church.
