The seventh chapel on the right is dedicated to St Diego of San Nicolás, a 15th century Spanish Franciscan lay-brother who became famous in Rome for nursing sick people while resident at the friary here. The city of San Diego in California, USA is named after him. The altarpiece is San Diego heals a blind man (1597-1610), oil on blackboard, by Giovanni de'Vecchi.
