History

A church at the site was documented since the first decades of the 11th-century, but the present layout derives from a 12th-century reconstruction. the lower 2 meters of the church used stones from the medieval walls of the town. The upper portion of the church was refurbished in the 19th century.[1]

The church was affiliated with the Canons of San Frediano in the 18th-century. The church was suppressed under Napoleonic occupation. In 1820, it was property of the Confraternity della Carità.

The exterior facade has some 12th-century reliefs in the architraves: one depicting a Eucharistic meal, the second, a miracle of San Nicolao Prete signed by Biduino. Inside the church in 1820 was a main altarpiece depicting the Ascension of Christ by Paolo Zacchia il Vecchio. A canvas of the Assumption of Mary by Bonuccio Trénta, had been moved here from the former church of San Pietro Maggiore. There was also a St Jerome by Alessandro Ardente of Faenza, and a Saints Zita and Paolino by Gaspare Mannucci.[2]

gollark: Not sure about software but I bet someone has written something for it.
gollark: You could get a raspberry pi and one of their cameras? It wouldn't be very good but ought to *work*.
gollark: Also, on the topic of terrible device security, an old router I had had a similar security problem. There was a telnet management interface thing which I noticed had a `ps` command, and it seemed that some lazy/stupid programmer had just made it pass the arguments straight to `system` or something, because you could do `ps ; sh` and... get a root shell...
