History
While a church at the site is documented from the 12th-century, the church on the present layout was built circa 1257 in a
Lionello Spada. The stations of the Via Crucis were sculpted by Giuseppe Carra. The choir ceiling was frescoed by Cesare Baglioni. A guide from 1869, states the main altarpiece was a Resurrection of Christ by Francesco Monti,[2] but more recent descriptions mention a Madonna and Child with young St John the Baptist and Angels by Girolamo Mazzola Bedoli.[3]
Adjacent to the church is the former monastery of the Canons Regular of the Lateran, who officiated at the church from 1257 till 1798, when the order was suppressed. The monastery has a Renaissance cloister designed by Ziliolo da Reggio, the capitals of the columns were sculpted by Antonio Ferrari d'Agrate. In 1566, the monastery received the title of Abbey. The monastery now belongs to the Dominican order.[4]
