“In the chapel near the door on the right (Pagani chapel) are the Prophets Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah in the pendentives, the eight Virtues in the larger compartments, the eight Angels in the smaller ones in the act of paying homage to the Divinity depicted in the centre, are by Camillo Gavasetti who created them in 1630. The altar decorated with marble and bronze and enriched with the statues of Religion and Prudence is the work of Nicola Sampolo; the painting of the Virgin in the act of asking for the Child Jesus from Saint Francis is by Alessandro Tiarini (1629).” (Temple of the Blessed Virgin of Ghiara, Wikiwand)
