History

Of the original church, only the sculpted Romanesque stone portal remains. The interior was refurbished in the 18th century, although the Franceschini chapel, built in 1505 retains some of its decoration. The Church has paintings attributed to Gaetano Lapis and Sebastiano Ghezzi. The main altarpiece was painted by Francesco Coghetti.
