The superb Rococo gallery, involving gilded wooden carving and allegorical statues in white stucco, was finished in 1758. The white lacquered statues represent musician Angels and those representing Hope and Charity are placed on the balustrade, Faith and Religion, on the sides of the organ. This is considered to be the most ornate organ gallery in any Roman church. The organ was executed in 1736 by a German organmaker named Johann Konrad Wherle.
