Information
In its place there was previously another building of worship built in 440 by Bishop Ugone on the ruins of an ancient pagan temple, dedicated to Hercules. The current building dates back to the eleventh century: a very abraded inscription, but still legible in the '800 recalled that the church was built at the behest of Bishop Gisone I around 1100. The Romanesque factory was originally to be tripartite in colonnades, but was then radically transformed into the Baroque age, breaking down the colonnades and reducing the longitudinal body of the church into a single hall. The medieval aspect of the church is still perceptible in the three apses, in the presbytery and in the triumphal arch. Inside the church there are still some capitals and sculptural fragments dating back to the XI-XII century. Noteworthy is the capital with plant motifs, perhaps dating back to the first half of the eleventh century, which serves as the basis for the monolithic baptismal font.
In the church was preserved the canvas of the "crucifixion of St. Peter", the twelfth century school of Caravaggio, now in the Diocesan Museum.
