Today it houses the center a wooden altar with frontal carved into which is inserted a canvas of the eighteenth century with the transit of San Giuseppe, while in the center of Ancona there is the blade with San Nicola di Bari, with every probability originated in a period straddling the centuries XVI-XVII and the work of a painter of the Veronese school.
