History
Construction of the church began before 1300s, and it was the second oldest parish in Cento. It was attached initially to the Franciscan order. In 1749, it became a parish church, a role for which for some time it shared with the nearby church of San Rocco.
The church underwent numerous refurbishments and contains works by Lucio Massari: Crucifixion and Saints; Guercino: Virgin in Glory with Saints Bonaventure, Francis, and donor; and a Madonna and Child, Saints and Guardian Angel. Due to the 2012 Northern Italy earthquakes, the church was closed for reconstruction. The church once contained a painting depicting a Dead Christ, now in the Pinacoteca di Cento, attributed to Matteo Loves.
