Once you enter in the church you will find an interesting wooden crucifix that can be admire.As of now, municipality decided to use this church for exhibitions.
The time when i visited, there was an exhibition going on with the old collection of world war- I (from 1914 to 1918). They reflect that how was the life in war. They demonstrate the equipment and other war relevant stuff used by soldiers. That "roba militaria" is the real stuff used by soldiers.

It is the true example of a soldier life during the war. Artist convert the situation by placing this roba that speaks the story of a soldier life. You may get a close chance to experience this story with a closer look. All those equipment are true and used in the world war - I.
I took this image back in 2015 on my first visit of this town. You can also find the post on my Instagram Profile. There is no entry free for the church and timings are available here in the google maps. You have to make a 5 minutes walk from the parking area because parking area is outside the town cittadella walls.
