Off the left transept, to the left of the apse, the Chapel of St Philip is especially sumptuous since the saint is enshrined here. The decoration in the Baroque style, employing mother-of-pearl, coral, onyx, lapis lazuli, agate, gold, marble, bronze and stucco, was constructed between 1600 and 1606 at the expense of a relative of St. Philip Neri.
