Simple and elegant church overlooking Monte Pian, offering a beautiful view of the Pre-Alps to the north and the rolling hills adjacent to the south.

The origin, between myth and reality: during the plague of 1475, a man escaped from Bassano in search of a safe place to escape the pandemic. During the journey, to ensure that there was no danger of contagion, he used a curious empirical trick: every evening he stuck a pole into the ground with a loaf of bread on top; if it looked moldy in the morning, it smelled like plague; otherwise he was sure he was in a healthy area. Once in this place, the loaf did not mold and the refugee stopped, purchasing a large part of the land above Monte Pian. Almost two centuries later one of his descendants decided to build the small church on that spot, erected as a grateful tribute to God for his ancestor's escape from danger.

It is supposed to have been built around 1660 in its basic original appearance, with an altar and a bell on the facade; it was then restored in 1871; completely redone in 1953 because it was falling apart; the current bell tower was built in 1987.
