The second chapel has a painting depicting the Crowned Virgin with Saints Pellegrino Laziosi and Giuliana Falconieri, and the blessed Gioacchino Piccolomini by a follower of Giovanni Morini. The wooden confessionals were carved by Antonio Maria Lodi.
The funereal monument to Vespasiano, in polychrome marble, was built in 1592 by Giovanni Battista della Porta (architect). The bronze sitting statue of Vespasiano was created circa 1560 by Leone Leoni. During recent restorations, the skeletal remains of Vespasiano were found with his badge of the Order_of_the_Golden_Fleece, granted to him in 1585 by the King Philip II of Spain, and awarded by Ottavio Farnese in Parma. The jewel is now conserved in the Sala del Tesoro of the Museum of Sacred Art in Sabbioneta.[1]
