HISTORICAL CRITICAL NEWS
These two columns were probably part of the Scotti family's sepulchral ark which is now located in the right nave, but which was once located in this chapel. In fact, it is known from the guides that the ark was originally placed on four high columns; it was then partially walled up, and the two rear columns were eliminated; around 1935 it was removed from the chapel and placed on the ground, on two shelves. The two surviving columns remained in the original chapel; they were placed in the corners, with two statues above (see sheet no. 74) coming from a dismantled altar
