Architecture
The single nave church has a facade constructed in the 15th century, initially designed by G.A. de Galvani. The entryway was further elaborated by Francesco da Volterra around 1575. The interior underwent modifications in 1819 by the architect Benedetto Piernicoli, replacing the original wooden ceiling.
