Historical notes
The relief of the archivolt, probably alludes to the victories of Napoleon from the late eighteenth century: there are two neoclassical Nikai, respectively holding an olive branch (left) and a wreath and caduceus symbol of peace (right).
On the front is the inscription in Latin original, due to the abbot Gaetano Fantuzzi which stands MDCCXCVII the date (1797).
