A church at the site is documented from the year 984. The church was affiliated with the jewelers of the city. In 1613 it underwent reconstruction, and achieved its present shape in 1752.[1]
Added to the facades of the church and surrounding buildings, which face a small piazza next to the street, are numerous inscriptions from a cemetery once found at the site. The interior includes baroque decoration, and includes eleven paintings by Giuseppe Bazzani who was baptized here in 1690.
