Inside there is a precious fresco depicting the Madonna and Child, painted by Antonio Massaro da Viterbo, called Pastura, active between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and pupil of Perugino and Pinturicchio.
The fresco was restored in 1825 with the exception of the face, neck and hands of the Virgin that have not been touched.
