The church we see today dates to 1570, and the interior stucco decorations date to the 17th-century. The altar stucco depicts St Francis of Paola in prayer (1687). The church also has a putative link to the Blessed Sante da Urbino (died 1394), known al secolo as Giansante Brancorsini, who was born in the parish. The crypt, dating to the 12th-century, houses the putative relics of the fourth-century Saint Marcellina; these were moved here in 1666, although she appears to no have had links to the town in life. The 15th century belltower rises to the left of the apse. [1]
