This tiny Romanesque church was already a parish church in 1166.  According to tradition, its bells spontaneously rang when St Francis died in 1226. 

Inside, the single nave has a beamed roof and is articulated by four brick arches.  

Frescoes 

The fresco (14th century) of the Madonna and Child with SS Francis, Stephen and donors in the 1st bay of the left wall has been heavily repainted.

The surviving upper part of a fresco (16th century) of the Crucifixion in the 2nd bay of the left wall is attributed to Dono Doni.
