According to tradition, the erection of a chapel dates back to 1300, above which a chapel was built in 1676 (the date engraved on one of the two bells located on the roof of the Church itself) that, from property of the Badia monastery, became the possession of that of S. Nazaro in Verona. Expanded in 1870, the Church was restored and enlarged in 1954.
Inside, there is a single altar and various paintings. On the vault of the Church, we find the Holy Trinity depicted with angels. The Holy Spirit is represented by the Dove, while on the back wall, behind the altar, there is a valuable fresco depicting, in the center, the Madonna with the Child seated on the throne; on their sides, we find two large images: St. Mary Magdalene and St. Lucia. Below these images, there is an inscription, unfortunately almost completely ruined, indicating the names of the two Saints. Below the image of St. Lucia, the plaster is damaged right at the point where the date of realization was written.
Above the figure of the Madonna and Child, the Holy Trinity is also depicted here: the Father and the Son holding the globe of the earth, above which only the feet of a Dove can be seen: the Holy Spirit. The renovation work in the mid-20th century has almost completely covered the body of the Dove.
The Church was managed by a small community of friars, of the same order as those who occupied the Abbey of Badia Calavena.
Since 1994, a group of Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette has been operating permanently in the fraction, who have renovated the parish church, turning it into a Marian sanctuary at the expense of the community and the Congregation with the aim of making the message of the Madonna known.
