Along the nave, 17th-century canvases depict Saints with ties to Padua: including Prosdocimus, Antony, Giustina, and Daneiele; or the Theatine order: Cajetan and Andrea Avellino.
In the chapel of St Cajetan are two canvases by Pietro Damini: a Transfiguration with Theatine Saints and a San Carlo Borromeo heals an ill girl. The canvas of San Carlo before Clement VIII (1622) was painted by Giovanni Battista Bissoni. In the Cappella della Madonna della Purità, are canvases by Palma il Giovane and Alessandro Maganza. In the Cappella del Santo Sepolcro or del Crocifisso, is a depiction of the Flagellation of Christ by Vernansal and a 17th-century wooden crucifix by Agostino Tannini. In the sacristy on the west side of the church are paintings depicting the martyrdoms of St Simone (by blinding) and St Judas Thaddeus (by beating) by Pietro Damini. The bas-relief marble Pietà in the sacristy is by Bartolomeo Bellano and the wooden altarpiece depicting the Prayer in the Garden is by Michele Fabris.
