The bank is named for a church on the shore above it and has been protected as a zona di tutela biologica since 1993, after spearfishing had stripped it.

Anchorage: Anchor along the Sorrentine coast between Vico Equense and Seiano, with Vesuvius across the bay. Hazards: Busy shipping and pleasure traffic overhead in summer; surface with an SMB. Meer
