It is a late medieval building (late 13th, early 14th century) with some architectural elements that could indicate an older date.
The presence of finds taken from Roman buildings is explained by the custom, very widespread in the Middle Ages, of using pieces of old buildings to create new ones. The term "pietrarossa" derives from a stone block measuring approximately 64 x 42 x 14 cm, with a central hole, present inside the church.

Late medieval building dating back to the 13th century.
Near the church of Santa Maria di Pietrarossa we find the well of San Giovanni, mentioned in many ancient texts for its thaumaturgical waters. According to tradition, water flowed from the well annually and with greater abundance approximately every thirty years, on the night of San Giovanni (the night of 24 June) and it was then that, according to legend, it exercised its greatest therapeutic power.
