History

[edit]

In 1080, Annibale Giovanni, descendants of German barons in possession of the territory, built a chapel here dedicated to San Pancrazio.[2] The church appears to have undergone major reconstruction and enlargement, in recent centuries, with interiors refurbished in 18th and 19th centuries.
