This plaque is placed on the right side of the main door and it reads:

Eretto nel 1516 dalla confraternita del Crocefisso, che venerava un'immagine dipinta sulle mura della città nel XV secolo (ora sull'altare maggiore), fu ricostruito nel 1762. L'interno costituisce un perfetto esempio di decorazione settecentesca con ornati di Antonio Gamberini (1782-88), stucchi di Luigi Acquisti e affreschi di Flaminio Minozzi. In sacrestia si trova l'Addolorata dello scultore Angelo G. Piò (1730).

Erected in 1516 by the Brotherhood of the Crucified, who worshiped an image painted on the walls of the city in the fifteenth century (now the main altar), it was rebuilt in 1762. The interior is a perfect example of eighteenth-century decoration adorned with Antonio Gamberini (1782-88), stucco and frescoes by Luigi Flaminio Purchases Minozzi. In the sacristy is the Sorrows of the sculptor Angelo Piò G. (1730).
