History

A church at the site is documented as a Collegiate church by 1275. The present church was built in the 15th century. The church once housed an altarpiece depicting the Madonna of the Assumption surrounded by Angels by Nicolò Alunno. At one time the painting was flanked by figures of St John the Baptist and St Sebastian. The painging is now in the Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome.
