History
The present church was reconstructed in 1626 at the site of an earlier medieval church documented by 1250. Initially the church belonged to the Regular clerics of San Ciro. In 1680, it was passed to the Lazarist Mission of St Vincent, and then in 1887 to Padri Stimatini. Initially dedicated to St Phillip, by 1576 it was known by its present name.
