To hide the difference of height between the new church and the Oratory of Sant’Antonio , the architect chose an original solution: he made a unique facade characterized by four pillars  in all height, overlooked by a curved and broken tympan which holds in the center the base of a crucifix.  

A unique prospect that, even today, contains two equal halves, with two entrances to the church and the oratory that preserves the equally unique Monumental Crib.

The inside of the church

The inside of the church, projected again by the same architect on the pre-existed structure, has one aisle with a lunette vault , ended by a semicircular apse and decorated by three altars. 

Above the major altar is placed the The immaculate conception with Santa Brigida and Sant’Orsola belonging to  Francesco Alfani. The two saints are: the one to whom the church is dedicated; the other the founder of the Order of the nuns of the convent that stands adjacent to the church. At their feet there is an angel who has in the hand the rule of the convent.  

The other two altars host , respectively, a Crucifixion and a Holy Family. 

The counter-facade houses a wooden choir and other valuable furnishings that defend the two side choirs in the cloistered area.

From the major altar, thanks to a little door, you enter to the chorus of the monks , work of Ferdinando Fuga and made after the edification of the church: is a rectangular room with a barrel vault, which was designed  in the space between the convent and the apse of the church.  

The intervention cost the Oratory of Sant’Antonio the shortening in length and involved the dismantling and the reassembly of the Monumental Crib which was seriously damaged.
