The marble cladding contained 14% salt, and was on the point of bursting, when restorers began the desalination and cleaning process.

All marble cladding was removed, and cleaned in stainless steel tanks, in a solution of distilled water.

Additionally, the campaign worked in the coffered ceiling, which was made up of fifty-two wooden panels depicting saints and prophets.

The nave is dominated by an ornamental marble stair rising between two pulpits, with statues by Tullio Lombardo, Alessandro Vittoria and Niccolò di Pietro.

The vaulted ceiling is divided into fifty coffers decorated with paintings of prophets, a work by Girolamo Pennacchi's contemporaries, Vincenzo dalle Destre and Lattanzio da Rimini.
