    The last chapel, completed in 1610, is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin.

    The incredulous apostles are gathered around the empty tomb, while the Virgin, accompanied by angels, partly carved and partly painted, ascends to heaven, on which the fresco depicting Christ is painted. The sculptural group is the work of Francesco Silva, possibly assisted by his son Agostino. Only the Maria Assunta is attributed to Martino Retti or Giovanni Maria Palanchino.

    The frescoes, begun in 1698 by Stefano Maria Legnani, alias Il Legnanino, were completed by Pietro Gilardi.

    Passing the fountain of Moses, through the village you reach the last station, which houses the high altar of the sanctuary.
