Work of exquisite workmanship, carved, painted and inlaid

Behind the Presbytery is the Choir, a large rectangular room with a cross vault in the central part and a barrel vault with lunettes on the sides.

 

Built in the sixteenth century and enlarged for the first time at the beginning of the seventeenth century with the occupation of public land, in 1703 it received the current structure, as a still legible plaque recalls:

 

Angustis extructa piis proventibus ark. Hanc magis angustam redidit auta domum

It is possible to admire, leaning against three walls, the double-row wooden choir, dating back to 1727.

 

It is a work of exquisite workmanship, carved, painted and inlaid, consisting of stalls placed side by side and decorated with silhouettes of stylized flowers, rendered with wooden pieces of different colors in the squares of the backs, and with herms of finely carved angels, placed on the pillars. dividers. Other heads of putti, rhythmically arranged on the frieze above with well-profiled frames, number, so to speak, the stalls themselves with armrests ending in scrolls.

 

In the center of the hall there is a characteristic lectern dated 1718, as revealed by the appropriate inscription. It consists of a candlestick stem, rounded in the central part and grooved with a groove and torus and with an elegantly carved triple body base.
