is a bas-relief of the Holy Martyrs, Patrons of the city. These are represented with symbols of martyrdom which the palm and the crown that is placed on the head angel. The representation of Mark and John are placed in a marble shield shelter built by a semi-circular scroll with the names of saints. Band with a frame that goes around the bas-relief above, enclosing a cherub head and ends with a portion of the arch built with a series of bands. The peculiarity of the whole is perplexing about the likely timing, because if the trend and the characteristics of the external structure and also to the whereabouts it inserted on the front of the building Feroldi de Rosa we date the shrine to the late Baroque, but for the manufacture of central importance, dating slide a lot.
The crushed bodies of the features of faces hard and roughly sketched, the archaic character to focus on the angel with symbols of martyrdom, they seem to belong more to the front of a sarcophagus that the production of the late Baroque, but remember that the relics of saints were received in our city in 1000. And we have no data certainly suggest that it can not leave the factory by a stonemason not gifted. However, despite the diversity and chronological remoteness of these four works spanning nearly five centuries of history, their function and their story brings them closer and makes them equal, that is bearers of the values \u200b\u200bof need and necessity of which spoke. the creed of the people through the work it took to manifest.
