 The area around the premises underwent drastic remodelling in 1900 as part of a massive urban renewal (Risanamiento) of Naples, and both church and monastery were damaged by bombing in World War II due to their proximity to the port of Naples, a target of bombing raids.Restoration was completed in 1953 and the monastic grounds were converted to a tobacco processing facility.The entire premises, both church and monastery, were then taken over by the University of Naples.
