The small octagonal chapel, topped by a dome that exactly reproduces (in a ratio of 1:8) that of the Florence Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, was built between 1594 and 1597 on a project by Santi di Tito.

The client was Giovan Battisto di Neri Capponi, owner of the Renaissance Villa in Petrognagno and canon of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. However, in order to build the chapel, he needed permission from Grand Duke Fernando I.

In this area stood the Castle of Semifonte, destroyed in 1202 by the Florentines. The Florentines enacted a ban on ever building in this area, except by express permission.
