16th-century chapel in the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, with a frescoed vault, a gilded altar and an old walnut choir.

Towards the end of the 16th century, this chapel dedicated to the Rosary was created in the third right-hand arch of the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Maggiore. Although it has lost the canvases that decorated its walls, it keeps its barrel vault, entirely frescoed in the 17th century, perhaps by Paolo De Matteis, and a magnificent carved and gilded wooden altar.Some of the paintings that once adorned it are now kept in the Diocesan Museum of Vallo della Lucania. We also really like the walnut choir behind the high altar, the work of Gerolamo Consulmagno of Aquara, with two semicircular rows of stalls. We recommend looking closely at its carvings and details.
