HISTORICAL CRITICAL NEWS
From a book of the income and expenditure of the Rosary Company, preserved in the church archives, it appears that the chapel of San Giuseppe was decorated with stuccos in 1724 by the brothers Francesco and Pietro Feroni and by Piatro Agni. The three plasterers imitated the Rosary Chapel, located opposite, decorated with stucco in 1681 by Provino Porta
