17th-century oratory with a carved wooden choir, a polychrome marble altar and 18th- and 19th-century canvases.
This 17th-century oratory wins us over immediately with its period wooden choir, with seats and backs carved with classical and naturalistic motifs. Above the polychrome marble high altar, dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary, a niche holds the 17th-century statue of the Virgin and Child.On either side of the altar two 18th-century oval canvases depict Jesus among the Doctors and the Crucifixion. Along the walls runs a cycle of six 19th-century paintings on the life and passion of Christ, from the Nativity to Veronica: we recommend following them one after another.
