In the 2nd century, Syrian Greek merchants settled in the area south of the Arno and are thought to have brought Christianity to the region.

A new church was built in the 11th century and the current church largely dates from 1736–1739, under design by Ferdinando Ruggieri, who turned it into a one nave edifice. The monastery was suppressed under the Napoleonic occupation of 1808–1810.
