Italian artist displays Gaza‑focused work in Naples chapel

Italian artist Eduardo Castaldo has unveiled a new artwork titled “Holy Mothers of Gaza” inside the Pappacoda Chapel in Naples.

The piece reimagines traditional Madonna paintings; by peeling back the outer layer, viewers are shown a photograph taken in Gaza.

The photograph was captured by Palestinian photojournalist Omar El Qattaa, and its inclusion aims to highlight the suffering in the region.

The installation is currently on display within the chapel, offering a juxtaposition of religious iconography and contemporary conflict imagery.
