The church contains frescoes from 1840–1841 depicting the Four Evangelists and the Martyrdom of Saint Stephen, painted by Giovanni Battista Airaghi.

The Oratorio di San Giuseppe is known by the names “San Giuseppe alla campagna”, “del contagio” and “Chiesina dei Morti”. It was built around 1730 at the site where a hospital had been established during the plague, most probably the plague of 1630.
