The ceramic image of St. Francis placed above the entrance portal was added in the 1938. Walking along the nave you can see some remarkable works of art: "the Holy Spirit adored by Angels", a fresco of the eighteenth-century Neapolitan School, St. Francis with the stigmata (1598), and the Madonna del Soccorso Our Lady of Assistance (about 1500)

| Virgin Mary Statue |
 | |
Placed on an obelisk, the statue representing the Holy Virgin Mary is pointing the sea to commemorate when some sailors in the 1200 found a wooden Madonna with the Child, abandoned by a ship in trouble, coming from Constantinople. The local feast called "Maronn‘e' notte", Holy Virgin in the night, commemorates every year the said event.
