History

The church began construction in the 16th century, but was completed in Baroque style, modified by style of the Ligurian region. On the portal is an sculpture of Madonna and Child, attributed to Bartolomeo Ordoñez (1515–1520). The church houses a painting depicting a Madonna del Carmine (Our Lady of Mount Carmel, 16th century), attributed to Domenico Fiasella. It also contains the altar dedicated to Santa Maria Maddelena de'Pazzi, built in 1675 at the expense of Count Francesco Maria Diana.
