Background

Currently the church (18.00 x 6.50 meters) has a single nave facing east with a slender cuspidated bell tower (2.50 x 2.50 x 16.00 meters) incorporated into the façade on the right side. The gabled façade, in squared sandstone blocks, has a simple and elegant portal with architrave on molded shelves, dated 1516, surmounted by a lunette and a small single lancet window. The north side adjacent to the cemetery has nothing particular, while in the south there is a simple side portal with an architrave on shelves and traces of ancient single lancet windows now closed; the current semicircular windows as well as the brick pennuccia of the roof date back to restorations of the mid-century. XX. Leaning against the back wall of the church you can see the small building of the hermitage characterized by two narrow slits. The entrance has a narrow atrium, flanked on one side by the bell tower and on the other by the baptistery which is accessed from the nave; above these there is a small choir loft. The hall has a painted rectangular plan, except for the remarkable stone triumphal arch of 1549, with a wooden trussed ceiling and some niches with statues of saints; the current terrazzo floor dates back to an intervention in the mid-century XX; interesting are the baptismal font in sandstone and the lateral stoup in travertine. The presbytery, raised from the hall by a step, has a cross vault and a Baroque altar on a 16th century frescoed dossal, containing a niche with the clay statue of the Madonna and Child, two other niches are present on the sides as well as two doors, the one on the left that leads into the sacristy, the one on the right in a room of the ancient hermitage.
