Artworks in the interior include a painting by Bergognone, Christ under the Grill; the tomb of Giovanni Bossi, attributed to Bambaia; a Baroque fresco cycle of the Life of St. Nicholas of Tolentino by Ciro Ferrari; and the Biblioteca Umanistica ("Humanist Library", 15th century). The latter has three naves divided by granite columns, with frescoes of the Magisteri Sacrae Pagines commissioned by the Augustinians when they acquired the building. Of the original gardens and cloisters, only one of the latter has survived.
