CHAPEL OF ST. LUCIA

The chapel dedicated to Saint Lucia, since 1831 belonged to the Palombi family, who used it  as a family tomb.
In fact we see on the right wall of the chapel the funeral memories of Francesco Palombi, who died in 1831, and his wife Isabella Moroni. Above these is the memory of Elizabetta Palombi and below that of Adelina Morelli, who died five years.

On the left wall at the top we see the memory of Tommaso Palombi and his wife Costanza Romagnani, while below is a bust of Giuseppe de Gasperis.

The altarpiece of the Roman school, of the late seventeenth century, depicts Saint Lucia.
