The facade of the Misericorde chapel is a very good example of 17th century Baroque architecture strongly marked by breaks in the lines of composition that provide a play of shadows and lights.
This chapel, the seat of the Confraternity of the Black Penitents of Mercy, is placed under the name of the Discoloration of Saint John the Baptist. His prior Milan Rostagni, a prominent local, began his construction in 1650 and had it attached to the Archconfraternity of Mercy of Rome. This building, with its remarkable colonnade façade, is being restored.
