The church was originally an oratory of a confraternity of flagellants (battuti), the Confraternity of the Holiest Trinity, known for the red (Rossi) color in their processional vestments.
History
[edit]Located within the medieval walls, an oratory was first erected here in 1275. The present church was rebuilt by 1636. The single nave contains a wooden statue of a Guardian Angel (1684) by Antonio Perico, with gilding by Ambrogio Giussano. The walnut pulpit is carved in 15th-century style.[1]
