Basilica Altarpiece

The interior of the church is clad in marble, gilding, and mosaics. The altarpiece on the high altar was painted by Michelangelo Grigoletti and depicts the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. At 13.5 by 6.6 meters, it is the largest oil painting in the world painted on a single piece of canvas.
