In the right apse, we can admire a fresco from the mid-1300s depicting the Trinity: God the Father, the Cross of Christ and the Dove, symbol of the Holy Spirit. Just below, the merciful Madonna welcomes a group of faithful under her cloak.
A large wooden cross from the fifteenth century, painted by Giovanni Badile, hangs from the apse. The figure of the crucified Christ stands out against a sparkling gold background; the dark cross is enriched at its trefoil ends with the symbols of the four evangelists: the eagle for John, the lion for Mark, the ox for Luke and the angel for Matthew. On the walls, rows of river pebbles with blocks of tuff and terracotta follow one another as horizontal elements within the wall which, together with the alternating columns and pillars along the naves and the red marble decorations, make this small church a splendid example of Veronese Romanesque architecture, enriched by numerous frescoes dating mainly from the fourteenth century.
