History

This 17th-century church was built under the patronage of the Ricci family, whose coat of arms is on the base of the main altar. The oval plan with a semicircular apse is attributed to Francesco Rosa (architect) and Carlo Fontana. The interio has rich baroque marble decoration, and a 1753 canvas as a main altarpiece depicting the Assumption of the Virgin with Saint Blaise. [1]
