Unfortunately, many frescoes inside the church were damaged during 16th and 17th century renovations.
The main paintings in the church are a copy of a “Transfiguration”, by Cavalier d’Arpino. The original was the work of Raphael.
The altar piece in the right transept, “Madonna with Child” was painted by Giovanni Lanfranco. The other painting depicts “Sant’Anna, Santa Caterina da Siena, Santa Caterina di Alexandria and Sant’Elena”.
