Chapel 44 - The Chapel of San Carlo

It depicts the room in which San Carlo was hosted when he went to the Sacred Mount in 1584, with the figure of  the praying saint and the bed in which he rested.
Since the Sepulcher was the most loved place of the complex by San Carlo, who for long time prayed there, in the eighteenth century next to the Oratory of the Sepulcher a small space was created that reproduced the room of the Franciscan monastery which housed Borromeo and the bed in which he slept was brought there. Following that, in 1722 Giuseppe Arrigoni shaped the statue of the saint.
 In 1945, when the exit door of the Oratory was opened, the scene was moved to the current space, decorated with fake tapestries.
