According to studies conducted by a pool of experts who analyzed all the pieces in the collection, the Treasure of San Gennaro would be even richer than the crown of Queen Elizabeth II of England and the Tsars of Russia.

The Treasury is a collection of works of art, kept intact thanks to the Deputation of the Royal Chapel of the Treasure of San Gennaro, an ancient secular institution founded in 1527 by vote of the Municipality of Naples, which still exists today.
