After the 1631 eruption of Vesuvius, forced the monks to relocate to Resina. The monastery was then ceded to monks of the Order of San Martino and later to priests of the Congregation Vincenziani della Missione till 1836, when they were expelled, only to regain the facility in 1860 and move back in by the 20th century. Outside, a scenic staircase leads to the church atrium of the church. A series of marble inscriptions and votive offerings indicate the veneration of Our Lady of Lourdes which began in 1873. The stucco and white marble interior is mainly the design Domenico Antonio Vaccaro following a reconstruction in the 18th century. The main altar is attributed to Granucci. In the lateral chapels is a St Joseph and Child Jesus with Saints Gennaro and Elmo by Giuseppe Castellano. It is placed next to a 16th-century crucifix. the frescoes on the ceiling (1890) were completed by Vincenzo Galloppi, who also decorated the apse in an oriental style similar to that of Domenico Morelli. The presbytery walls were frescoed by Francesco Saverio Altamura and Bernardo Hay with stories relevant to the Virgin of Lourdes; in 1875, a reproduction of the Grotto of Lourdes was built. The site was often visited by the modern saint Doctor Giuseppe Moscati, who provided a marble plaque in gratitude to the Virgin

Santa Maria della Concezione a Montecalvario is a church in central Naples, Italy. Founded as a small church in 1579, it was attached to the adjacent monastery and school of the Concezione. It is located on via Concezione a Montecalvario #32. From 1718 to 1725, Domenico Antonio Vaccaro with the collaboration of the engineers Giuseppe Lucchese Prezzolini and Filippo Marinelli, reconstructed the church. Its decoration dates to 1724. In 1889 the complex was closed due to structural instability. By the end of the 19th century it had come to the jurisdiction of the Collegi Riuniti, and in 1916, it was granted in perpetuity to the Archiconfraternity of the Santissimo Corpo di Cristo, while the college and garden were given to the Commune of Naples. In 1928, the college was demolished and a school built. In 1960 a maternity institute was built in the grounds of the garden. In 1978, further restorations were carried out under Loreto Colombo, yet the church was again damaged by the 1980 Irpinia earthquake, and work continued till 1987. The interior has a Greek cross plan. The cupola is decorated by stuccoes by Giuseppe Cristiano. The main altar and the majolica pavement wes designed by Vaccaro. It is flanked by the heraldic symbols of the Mercurio family. The 16th century statue depicts the Immaculate Conception. The chapels have paintings by Vaccaro, Tommaso Martini, and Nicola Maria Rossi. The Vaccaro brothers also completed the majolica pavement.
