Cappella Vecchia del SS Sacramento (1499)

The marble pavement in the bay outside this chapel originally extended throughout the church.  The arch in the colonnade opposite the chapel has a coffered ceiling that is similar to that of the chapel itself.

Cappella della Madonna del Ponte

Cappella della Beata Lucia (1710-14)

This chapel in the right transept was originally dedicated to St Catherine of Alexandria.  Cardinal Giuseppe Sacripante acquired it in the early 18th century as a burial chapel for his family in Narni.  He obtained the confirmation of the cult of the Blessed Lucy of Narni for Narni and Viterbo from Pope Clement XI in 1710.  He acquired part of the relics of the Blessed Lucy from Ferrara in that year, and commissioned the remodelling of this chapel, which was to house them.  The inscription in the pavement records the completion of the chapel in 1714.

The altar surround (1654-6), which is by Carlo Rainaldi, originally stood in the Cappella di Sant’ Antonio di Padova in SS Apostoli, Rome.  Cardinal Sacripante purchased it in 1711 for his new chapel.  The design of the revetment of the walls, the windows, and the transverse oval dome is attributed to Nicolò Michetti, who also worked in Cardinal Sacripante’s Cappella di San Giuseppe at Sant' Ignazio, Rome.

In ca. 1715, Cardinal Sacriponte commissioned the decoration of the chapel  from Francesco Trevisani.  (This artist had also worked in the Cardinal's  Cappella di San Giuseppe at Sant' Ignazio, Rome).  Trevisani's works in the Cappella della Beata Lucia include:

1. ✴the panel on  the left of the death of St Joseph (the name saint of Cardinal Sacripante);
   

2. ✴the altarpiece of the stigmatisation of the Blessed Lucy;
   

3. ✴the panel on the right of the mystical marriage of St Catherine of Alexandria (the previous titular of the chapel).
   

4. ✴the frescoes of scenes from the life of the Blessed Lucy in the vaults and cupola.
   

Cardinal Giuseppe Sacripante died in Rome in 1727 and was buried in Sant’ Ignazio there.  However, his nephew, Cardinal Carlo Maria Sacripante was buried in this chapel when he died in 1758.

The reliquary on the altar, which now contains all the relics of the Blessed Lucy, was brought here from Ferrara on 1935. 

Cappella Nuova del SS Sacramento (1728)

The corridor leading to it contains:

1. ✴a detached fresco (15th century) of the Pietà with SS Sebastian and Francis in a niche on the left, which is attributed to Pierantonio Mezzastris; and
   

2. ✴an ornate altar on the right that includes an altarpiece (18th century) of St Philip Neri.
   

Cappella della Consolazione (1512)

In 1514, Bishop Gormaz commissioned the decoration and gilding of the chapel from Rinaldo Jacovetti da Calvi.  Most of this work has been lost.

The monument (ca. 1515) of Bishop Gormaz is on the left.

Madonna della Consolazione (15th century)

Madonna and Child with saints (15th century)

This altarpiece on the back wall, which depicts the Madonna and Child with SS Peter, Paul, Juvenal and Cassius, is by a follower of Antoniazzo Romano.
