In the sacristy they are collected censers, boats, chalices, ciborium and Baroque patens. There is also a wooden crucifix painted by eighteenth-century table.
The Hall of Brotherhood insists above the sacristy and contains innumerable objects: in a large glass case there is the life-size statue of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows. There are also a banner processional painting and ancient missals XVII-XVIII century.
But remarkable and truly impressive is the crypt in this large room below the oratory with a barrel vault arched are kept of cataletti and objects for the Good Friday procession. On either side of the door are statues of St. Bartholomew and St. Anthony Abbot and, on the wall backdrop, a fourteenth-century fresco depicting the Crucifixion.
