View of the interior of the Church of Sant’Urbano as it appeared in the 18th century, very similar to its current appearance, though elements are present that are no longer visible today, such as a series of vases on the cornice above the altar. The image is enlivened by the presence of various figures, some of whom are wearing religious garments that suggest they may be friars.
