The chapel of the Madonna della Neve, which was expanded in 1686 and 1750, is on the path that leads to Castello Sasso Corbaro. The fresco fragment above the entrance is from the 18th century and depicts Jesus with the Samaritan woman. The fresco in the dome above the choir (17th / 18th century) depicts the coronation of the Virgin Mary. Above the altar are frescoes from the 17th century (Pietà and Christ in the olive grove), in the apse the encounter in Emmaus, a praying monk, St. Magdalena and the Madonna and Child and angels. Various paintings are kept in the chapel, including portraits of the Von Mentlen family, founders of the oratory. Petrini could have painted the death scenes.
