Sacristy
The altarpiece shows The Vision of St John Gualbert at the Crucifix, by Agostino Ciampelli of 1594. After forgiving the murderer, the saint (the one on the right) was praying at a crucifix when Christ nodded at him in approbation, whereupon he left his military kit and went off to be a monk.
