Bishop Gennaro is the patron saint of Naples, and thus the subject of numerous works from that city’s rich school of painting. He was bishop of Benevento during the Diocletianic Persecution in the third century AD. While visiting Pozzuoli, north of the Gulf of Naples, Gennaro was taken prisoner and tortured in various ways, miraculously emerging unscathed. Finally, he was decapitated and buried there.
