The Saint Mary Parish saves numerous valuable art works like a fourteenth-century fresco painted by a Pisan artista, portraying an "Our Lady with the Child", a fount dating back to the XII-th century and a sixteenth-century earthenware portraying an "Our Lady with the Child".

From the left aisle it is also possible to enter, by a staircase, in the Holiest Sacrament Chapel, whose inside, showing the Baroque style, it is possible to admire an eighteenth-century painting portraying the "Saint Catherine's Miracle".
