Here is where the church is located:
On the high altar, the last work of Giacomo Antonio Ponsonelli (1730) designed by Pierre Puget, there is a statue of the Madonna, supported by figures of angels, by the same artist. In the presbytery there are some eighteenth-century paintings: Nativity of the Virgin by Giuseppe Cades (painted in Rome in 1784, originally intended for the church of San Carlo al Corso), Presentation of the Virgin by Giovanni David (1785) and Annunciation by Carlo Giuseppe Ratti (1787)
