While it is unknown when the building was erected, the first written record mentioning the Church of Sant'Agostino dates back to 1047.[1] The church was initially dedicated to Saint Philip the Apostle and Saint Jacob.[1] It was then dedicated to Augustine of Hippo in 1551, when it was donated to the order of the Discalced Augustinians.[1] The church was consecrated in 1643.[2]
Sant'Agostino was damaged by Allied bombardments three times throughout World War II, in 1942 and 1943.[1]
