"Ecce homo"
The scene shows Pilate, saying: "Ecce homo", from the loggia of his palace. He shows Jesus to the crowd, tied by the villains, wounded by the flagellation and crowned with thorns. Then, he asks the crowd if they wish to free Jesus or Barabbas. The screaming crowd answers to crucify Jesus.
The chapel is located on the first floor of the Pilate Palace and can be accessed through the holy staircase. This is a copy of the staircase of Saint John in Lateran in Rome, of which each step was donated by a community of the valley.
The frescoes are the work of Pierfrancesco Mazzucchelli, also known as Il Morazzone (1609-1616). The statues, most of which were already made in 1610, were shaped by Giovanni d'Enrico's workshop and painted by his brother Melchiorre.
