The Goddess Demeter in San Gregorio Armeno in Naples

The bas-relief of the goddess Demeter in San Gregorio Armeno in Naples.
Walking through the stalls famous for their statuettes and nativity scenes, I saw a tourist guide stop at a point that was insignificant to me and I paid attention to what he was describing.
Only then did I discover the story of this strange figure, very ruined and ancient, but with an aura of exceptional mystery.
