Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 3,026 articles in the main category, and specifying|topic= will aid in categorization.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

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 were begun 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]
