History
The church was consecrated in 1616, as part of an adjacent Theatine convent. The present façade was constructed in 1731. During the Napoleonic occupation, it was given the satirical name of St Napoleon. After Austrian rule of the region, the church became attached to the parish of Santa Barnaba. Damaged during the Second World War, the church has been closed from 1957 to 2007, when it was opened for worship only on the day of Virgo Fidelis. The first chapel on the left contains the tomb of Giovanni dalle Bande Nere. It is also open for viewing of artworks on certain days. The tomb of Giulio Romano was lost during reconstructions of the past centuries.
Presently the church still contains the following works of art.
