History

A church of this name in the hamlet of Agolla seems to date from at least the year 1300, although the present building appears to date from the 15th century. Durin a pastoral visit in 1582, the Bishop of Camerino noted the church was in use. In 1802, one account states this was mainly used as a burial church. The layout is very simple: a rectangle with a gabled roof and a bell in the facade. The façade has an off-center round window. Once the walls were covered with frescoes. While most are poorly conserved, they date from the 13th to 16th centuries.[1]
