The Martyrdom of Saint Catherine of Alexandria in San Pietro in Vincoli.
After many attempts I managed to find the doors of this beautiful church in Sestri open.

In the photo there is the beautiful wooden group by the sculptor Anton Maria Maragliano depicting the Martyrdom of Saint Catherine of Alexandria.
