Cappella della Pia Congregazione dei Banchieri e dei Mercanti (Chapel of the Pious Congregation of Merchants and Bankers)

It’s not easy to get to this chapel – you have to first pass through the courtyard of the Antichi Chiostri (Ancient Cloisters), today used by the local city administration as an information point and exhibiting space. But it’s definitely worth the effort to see this chapel from 1692, whose vaulted ceiling is adorned with Legnanino’s frescos. The chapel also contains wooden statues by Carlo Giuseppe Plura and a most curious universal mechanical clock built in 1835 by Giovanni Amedeo Plana (and which was designed to keep time until the year 4000). The chapel is located on via Garibaldi, very near the Chiesa dei Santi Martiri.
