	Refectory at San Giorgio Maggiore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The first contact between Andrea Palladio and the very rich Benedictine Congregazione di Santa Giustina regarded the construction of a refectory for the convent of San Giorgio Maggiore, begun in July 1560 and concluded three years later.
		In reality, this entailed remodelling and completing a building begun a couple of decades earlier, which Palladio transformed into one of his most sumptuous and fascinating achievements: a calibrated, scenographic sequence of spaces on two levels running right the length of the refectory aula.
		Broad stairs lead to the first grand portal (a philological quotation of a precise Roman model: the portal of San Salvatore at Spoleto), through which one reaches a vestibule where twin, extraordinary, red marble lavamani (wash-stands) stand on a red and white floor.

		La chiesa di San Giorgio Maggiore, all'incrocio di via Duomo, pilastro della città greco-romana, è un'antica basilica paleocristiana della città.
		A fine l'operazione urbanistica di ampliamento di via Duomo costrinse all'abbattimento della navata destra della chiesa; fu rifatto il fianco destro, con l'ingresso laterale da via Duomo, furono ricostruiti gli stucchi e le decorazioni interne, e si unì il corpo della chiesa barocca all'atrio, fino a quel momento esterno, costituito dall'abside paleocristiana.
		Di fronte c'è un altare su cui è conservata una tela del tardo-manierista fiorentini Giovanni Balducci, raffigurante la Madonna col bambino in gloria e i Santi Giorgio e Severo, datata 1629 ed interessante per la veduta del porto di Napoli e di Castel Nuovo di Napoli presente sullo sfondo.
