Cappella Theodoli
In 1553 the chapel was granted to Traiano Alicorni, a Milanese nobleman and protonotary apostolic, and re-dedicated to Saints Lucy, Nazarius and Celsus, who were important martyrs of Milan. In 1569 the chapel was assigned to Girolamo Theodoli, the Bishop of Cádiz. The new owner employed the same artist, Giulio Mazzoni of Piacenza, and maintained the original dedication of the chapel with the addition of Saints Jerome, Catherine and John the Baptist. The chapel was completed about 1575. The chapel was refurbished by Marquis Girolamo Theodoli for the Jubilee Year of 1725.
