The coffered wooden ceiling dates from the second half of the 15th century, and is possibly the oldest in Rome. It was made by Giovannino and Marco de' Dolci, and is coffered in identical blue squares each of which contains a gilded rosette. The coat-of-arms on a red background in three tondi is of Pope Paul II, and serve as a reminder of his 15th century remodelling of the church.
