A wonderful painting of St. Michael the Archangel, created by the Raphael protege, Perino del Vaga in 1535; sculptures by Maragliano; and paintings by Domenico Fiasella, Domenico Piola and G.B. Carbone created in the 1600s can all be found inside.
Our Lady of Consolation
This 15th century church was renovated in 1725 so that the interior became a single nave, and the facade was redesigned in the Neoromanesque fashion.
