The church was born on June 25, 1493. Once registration was completed, it was decided to raise all monies due for the construction of the church.

The construction goes on intermittently with long interruptions during the winter periods, as the funds for the construction are found. With the paintings of the interior walls in 1506 and 'finished the first part of the church after more than 200 years will be' expanded exactly in 1708.

The enlargement ended in 1736. The church is composed of the main altar or "Privilegiato", two altars at the sides and two smaller ones.

Let us see them briefly in detail:

The main altar with an altarpiece attributed to Francesco Vecellio (brother of the much more famous Tiziano Vecellio) that has undergone adaptations following the 1736 enlargement. The altarpiece depicts the Madonna and Child between Saints John the Evangelist and John the Baptist.

The left altar, entering from the main door, contains an altarpiece painted by Tommaso Vecellio (1587 - 1629, died at a very young age; relative of Tiziano Vecellio). The altarpiece depicts a "Madonna with Child between Saints Margaret and Anthony Abbot".

The altar on the right, always entering from the main door, is that of the "Madonna della Cintura" (Madonna of the Belt) which at the base contains a watercolour engraving of the Beata Vergine della Cintura (Blessed Virgin of the Belt) and an altarpiece attributed to Osvaldo Gortanuto depicting the Madonna della Cintura (Madonna of the Belt).

There are also two other smaller altars, each containing a canvas attributed to an "anonymous 18th century artist", one depicting the "Annunciation and the Saints Zachariah, Elizabeth and James" and the other a "Madonna with Child, San Liberale and the Guardian Angel".
