The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La chapelle du Saint-Sépulcre appartient aux Pénitents bleus, l'une des quatre confréries niçoises toujours en activité. Sa construction est indissociable de la création de la place Vittoria (actuellement Garibaldi) à la fin du 18e siècle. Chapelle bâtie sur les plans de Antonio Spinelli par l'entrepreneur André Laurenti de 1782 à 1784. La principale particularité de la chapelle est son intégration au projet urbain ; elle ne se distingue des maisons voisines que par la monumentalité de sa façade (soubassement à bossages, ordre colossal, fronton). Intérieur peint (peut-être par le niçois Emmanuel Costa) au 19e siècle.

History
The chapel of the Holy Sepulchre belongs to the Pénitents bleus, one of four Nice confraternities still active. Its construction is inseparable from the creation of the place Vittoria (currently Garibaldi) at the end of the 18th century. Chapel built according to the plans of Antonio Spinelli by the contractor André Laurenti from 1782 to 1784. The principal feature of the chapel is its integration into the urban project; it distinguishes itself from neighbouring houses only by the monumentality of its façade (rusticated basement, colossal order, pediment). Interior painted (perhaps by the Nice artist Emmanuel Costa) in the 19th century.
