The altar stands on a platform placed above seven steps. It is the work of Tiziano Aspetti (1607), and is crowned by three statues made in 1593-94: that of Saint Anthony in the center, flanked by that of Saint Bonaventure and Saint Louis of Toulouse, who were Franciscan bishops. On the parapet you can see two pairs of candle-bearing angels. The tabernacle dates back to 1742, as do the two embossed silver plate altar cards, the work of the Venetian goldsmith Andrea Fulici, which depict in bas-relief, starting from the left, the Miracle of the Severed Foot, the Apparition of Baby Jesus, the Miracle of the Mule, the Dressing of Saint Anthony and the Miracle of the Fish.
