Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary
It was rededicated to Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii in 1886 and its vault re-done, but the altarpiece by Filippo Luzzi has been left alone. It shows St Bernard preventing the River Po from flooding the city by giving a blessing. On the altar, in front of the altarpiece is a painting of Our Lady of Pompeii.
