He lived at the end of the third and beginning of the fourth century and was bishop of Rome when Emperor Constantine - later generations gave him the nickname "the Great" - recognized Christianity as a religion with the so-called "Edict of Tolerance" of Milan, and thus - at least temporarily - the period of bloody persecution of Christians ended.

Its construction dates back to 1550 on commission of the priest Viola from the Guanni district. Finally, the majestic lime tree probably 200 years old catches the eye
