The 1693 earthquake destroyed almost all of it, and in 1702, reconstruction began, which continued for over a century, being completed in 1848.<br \/>It stands at the top of an imposing staircase made of <em>pitchstone <\/em>in the shape of a monstrance (Fig. a). The fa\u00e7ade, with three orders, rises at the nave with a convex tower fa\u00e7ade and overlapping columns, three on each side for all orders, accentuating its verticality (Fig. b). Above the central entrance is a decorative apparatus of great majesty. The first order is completed above with a stone balustrade. The second order, bearing a large window, is connected to the rest of the fa\u00e7ade with two large volutes. The third order acts as a belfry and is completed above with an imposing spire bearing a clock (Fig. c).<br \/>The richly decorated and gilded stucco interior has a Latin cross plan and is divided into five naves with a transept. At the intersection of the nave and transept rises the dome (Fig. d). All the naves have different heights and each is lighted by high windows.<br \/>At the end of the presbytery, a large 16th-century polyptych by Bernardo Niger is placed on a carved wooden tribune (Fig. e).<br \/>The interior, on the counter wall of the main fa\u00e7ade, also contains the <em>Adoration of the Shepherds<\/em>, a painting on wood from the end of the 16th century, attributed to Carlo Cane from Piedmont (Fig. f). Initially made of <em>pitchstone<\/em>, the floor was replaced with marble, and a sundial was drawn before the high altar.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5159c4c8 e-flex e-con-boxed elementor-invisible e-con\"
