Originally present by the 13th century, the church was rebuilt in 1819 by the architect Angelo Venturoli. The belltower dates to the late 19th century. The main altar was designed by Gioachino Rodoloni, and once hosted an altarpiece depicting the Bishop San Martino resuscitating the son of a widow by Tadolini. Other works in the church included a Virgin healing the Sick by Crescimbeni, a pupil of Lazzaro Calvi; and a 19th-century St Joseph by Filippo Pedrini.[1][2]
