    June 12, 2023 - Located next to the Basilica of San Vitale and the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, it is a small religious building commissioned by Bishop Ecclesius (525 - 532 AD). According to the historian Girolamo Rossi (16th century), Ecclesius converted his father's house into a church, as had been the case with many other early Christian churches in the area. In the 13th century the church was entrusted to the Sassi family, then to the Polentanis, the Morigias (17th century) and finally to the Rasponi del Sale family and others, until today. After a renovation at the beginning of the 20th century, the church is now a sacred building and is used as a parish seat.
