The gallery, called ‘scolatoio’ (drainer), is located under the entrance atrium of the 18th-century church of SS. Salvatore. After the destructive earthquake of 29 November 1732, when architect Domenico Antonio Vaccaro built the new church on a raised floor, this place was destined for the burial of the deceased. It had a small access door from the cloister; some iron hooks once arranged in the intrados of the vault and the seats arranged in the niches testify to this use. During the initial post-earthquake restoration works, two openings were improperly made: one in the initial part and the other on the back wall to connect this environment with the cistern area; an opening was also made on the latter, which can be seen today and prevents the original use.
