A small church, almost a chapel, desecrated since the Napoleonic period, used for decades as a venue for exhibitions and cultural events.
The church was built in 1524 to mark the end of the plague: aligned on the front of Via Matteotti with a small belfry at the back.
The new church, rebuilt in 1762, will instead have a classicizing facade, much set back from the alignment of the porticoed facade of Via Matteotti. A small square is formed in front of the church, which seems to communicate more with the surrounding neighborhood, then bordering the Jewish ghetto, than with the city center.
The reconstruction highlights the belfry (also taken from the ancient structure but with the 18th-century spire) that takes on an unexpected role in the urban landscape.
