The small church on the summit of the mountain "Monte San Martino, with its summit overlooking the valleys below, has always been a place of worship: once a tribe gathering, then a pilgrimage destination and today for hiking. It is said that the populations of Celtic origin have raised a sacred place on the summit dedicated to Taranis, god of thunder. Towards the end of 200 AD the Roman Publio Novellius Crescente, probably in honor of Jupiter, had a temple or altar built, as attested by a plaque still visible today inside the Church. Around 500 AD, when the Christian religion began to consolidate even in the villages, most likely our people hastened to transform this temple from pagan to Christian, dedicating it to St. Martin of Tours, whose fame of holiness has also spread to us.
