History
The late 16th-century small church was attached to a Clarissan order Convent in the center of the town. It was originally an oratory dedicated to Saint Claire, then assigned to the Company of the Saints Ludovico and Gherardo – called Bigi ("ash grey") after the colour of their clothes – in 1796.[1] The brick facade has a bell in the center of the tympanum. It is now used, along with the former convent, for cultural activities.[2]
