The Company, founded in 1570 to provide decent burial for the poor, started the church in 1575. Designed by Bino Sozi, building work continued beyond the 17th century. The interior features a Greek cross vault, renovated in the 1700s, and preserves paintings and stuccoes by Francesco Busti, Cristoforo Gasperi and Anton Maria Garbi (18th cent.). The mannerist style portal was built in 1606.
