The Commune built this octagonal church to house a venerated fresco of the Madonna and Child (see below) that had previously been housed in an roadside tabernacle. It subsequently passed to Franciscan tertiaries, who built the second storey of the church and (in 1595-8) its cupola. One side of the octagon was opened in 1630 for the construction of a presbytery to house the high altar.
The Franciscans built the adjoining convent in 1604-47.
Madonna del Latte with Saints (15th century)
