It was decided to build, using an endowment from the merchant Muzio Cappelletti, a new church for the nuns which now stands as the Chiesa del Buon Gesù.
[3] The richly decorated interior of the church of Buon Gesu had a choir section for the cloistered nuns to attend services.
It was taken to Paris in the Napoleonic era, when the nunneries of Orvieto were suppressed, but subsequently returned to the church of Buon Gesù, since Santa Chiara never reconsecrated.
The main altarpiece depicts a 15th-century Madonna and Child, peculiarly called the Morto vivo, which was once a wall fresco outside the Porta Maggiore of Orvieto.
A 1637 plaque to the right of the counterfacade inside recalls the endowment by Mutio Cappelletto (Muzio Cappelletti) and the execution of the will by city and church officers from the prominent aristocratic families Simoncelli, Gualterio, and Monaldeschi.
