Although its exterior facade may appear discreet and unpretentious, the interior of the sacred place surprises visitors with an atmosphere of great balance and harmonious spaciousness. The structure is characterized by a single nave, dominated by a barrel vault that gives a sense of vertical width. The side altars, delicately set between elegant fluted pilasters, add a touch of sophistication without overloading the space.

The interior decoration, while remaining sober, is enriched by delicate stuccoes that frame and enhance every architectural element, creating an environment of prayer that invites reflection. At the heart of this artistic expression is a magnificent canvas by Pietro Novelli, which portrays Saint Benedict of Norcia in the act of distributing his rule, a work that not only testifies to the painter’s mastery but also the importance of Benedictine spirituality.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the interior is represented by the set of eight stucco statues, made in 1724 by Giacomo Serpotta, one of the most famous artists of his time. These statues are considered among the most significant masterpieces of the master, each embodying a value or a Christian symbol: La Pace, La Mansuetudine, La Fortezza, La Purezza, L'Addolorata, La Maddalena, San Pietro and San Paolo. The mastery with which Serpotta has been able to infuse life and emotion in these stucco figures transforms the space into a gallery of sacred art, where believers and admirers can contemplate the beauty of faith through art.

This place of worship, therefore, not only preserves artistic treasures of inestimable value but also represents a meeting point between devotion, history and art, offering visitors a spiritual and cultural experience of great intensity.
