In the apse the Throne with the Child stands, which is a great fresco by Renzo Bonfiglio. Majolica sculptures decorate the walls, work of Angelo Biancini from Faenza. Under the church, in an artificial cave, there is a permanent display of the Nativity Scene, with statues made with Albisola ceramics, work of E. Salino.
