The rebuilding in 1723

The actual building comes from the new edification made in 1723 , the year where the church was placed under the patron of Laterans Canons of what preserves the arm of the coat which sourmounts the entrance door.  

The interior of the church is in baroque style: in the major altar there is a painting of 1650 of “Mistiche nozze di Santa Caterina” attributed to Lazzaro Baldi.
