Historical notes

Construction of the church began in 1653 and was completed in 1670.
The façade, subdivided horizontally by a cornice, has two overlying orders, Doric and Ionic, and is joined, according to a recurring schema of the time, by two simple volutes on the sides.
It is completed at the top by a tympanum which encloses a clock.
The interior of the church has a single nave and six side chapels.
The chancel holds fine stalls in walnut.
Of particular interest is the eighteenth-century stuccowork, the organ, and the altar-piece of the Bolognese school of Guido Reni.
The Romanesque bell tower is twenty-nine metres high.
