Anna Maria Gallo was born in Naples on March 25th, 1715 in the city area called “Quartieri Spagnoli”.

Here she lived and performed prodigious deeds, recognized as “miracles” by the people.

Today the myth of Santa Maria Francesca is widespread and every day faithful come to visit her little church from all over the world, above all women longing for getting pregnant.

Everything in her flat is unchanged. You can still sit on the chair where she used to pray… 

The Shrine is opened every day from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m.
