Tips
The pretty church was built from red trachyte. It is named after San Lussorio, a Roman soldier who was converted to Christianity. He suffered his martyrdom here during the persecution of Christians under Diocletian.
In the 4th century, an underground tomb was built in his honor, which today forms the church's crypt.
The Romanesque-style church was built in the 12th century by Vittorini monks who made it their mission to enhance the sites of martyrs.
The church was actually closed, but after a call a nice lady came by and opened the small area for us.translated by
