Set in the very heart of Spaccanapoli opposite a charming antique
statue of a river god personifying the Nile, hence the name of
the church. Sant'Angelo a Nilo is a little gem off Piazza San
Domenico, containing one of the earliest Renaissance tombs in
Italy. The tomb of Cardinal Brancacci, designed by Michelozzo
and sculpted by Donatello in 1427, with its classical details,
points the way forward.
