This oratory was frescoed with scenes from the lives of St. Catherine and her husband, St. Valerian, by the best artists working in Bologna in the 16th century. These included Il Francia (who painted the best of the bunch: the Marriage of St. Catherine to the left of the altar and the Burial of St. Catherine to the altar's right), Lorenzo Costa (the two panels abutting Il Francia's), and Amico Aspertini (the two scenes closest to the entry door on either side; he may have had a hand in the four middle panels as well).
