On the right hand wall of the antechamber are two monuments with good busts. That to Odoardo Santarelli (c.1640) by Alessandro Algardi is to the right, and that to Ludovico Sarego (1625) to the left. Over the door is an epigraph proclaiming the restoration by Pope Pius IX, and a small bust of him dated 1864. Flanking the epigraph are two stone candlesticks bearing a little bronze dragon and eagle, the Borghese family emblems.
