Left Transept
On the left, The Resurrection of Tabitha, painted by Placido Costanzi. It was originally made for the altar of Tabitha in San Pietro in Vaticano, where again it has been replaced by a mosaic copy. The painting shows Tabitha of Joppa being brought back for the dead by St Peter (Acts 9, 36).

On the right, The Immaculate was painted by Pietro Bianchi in the early 18th century. It was made for the altar in the Chapel of the Choir in San Pietro in Vaticano, and brought here after a mosaic replica replaced it. In it, Our Lady surrounded by angels and putti is being pointed out to Sts Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Padua by St Gregory Nazianzen.
