The current appearance of the church dates back to the early 1700s when the entire building was renovated in Baroque style. The consecration dates back to 1291 and all that remains of the original Gothic structure is the single nave plan and some architectural details. In 1550 Vasari designed the Vitelli Chapel, still visible today. Many of the works created for this church are now found elsewhere, it is possible to find them in collections of various Italian and foreign museums.
