, 1/400 f/3.2, ISO 5000, hand held.

canonico ed etnologo Andrea de Jorio, nel 1851 direttore del ritiro di San Raffaele a Materdei, racconta che verso la fine del Settecento tutti quelli che avevano i mezzi lasciavano disposizioni per farsi seppellire nelle chiese. Qui però spesso non vi era più spazio sufficiente; accadeva, allora, che i becchini, dopo aver finto di aderire alle richieste e aver effettuato la sepoltura, a notte fonda, posto il morto in un sacco, se lo caricassero su una spalla e andassero a riporlo in una delle tante cave di tufo.[7] Tuttavia, in seguito alla improvvisa inondazione di una di queste gallerie, i resti vennero trascinati all'aperto portando le ossa per le strade[10]. Allora le ossa furono ricomposte nelle grotte, furono costruiti un muro ed un altare ed il luogo restò destinato ad ossario della città.
