This vault probably comes from one of the noble chapels present in the cathedral until the renovation work carried out by Baccani in mid 19th century. It is a wooden barrel vault painted in tempera with grotesque motifs typical of the sixteenth century and ovate with stories of the ancestors, taken from the Book of Genesis.
