Category: Abbeys and churches
The first mention of this structure dates back to the 1500’s. Today, it is a wonderful example of a Baroque church. The interior, topped with a precious and refined lacunar ceiling, has numerous valuable paintings, among which are a work by Barnaba da Modena (1377) depicting a “Madonna delle grazie” as well as an “Adorazione della Madonna e dei Santi” by Macrino d’Alba (1508).
