Located outside the city walls of the town, the church was commissioned in 1294 by Cardinal Matteo Bentivenga. The church was once attached to a Franciscan monastery, of which the refectory and cloister still survive. Inside the church is a venerated icon of the Virgin and Child from the 14th century, titled the Madonna della Stella. There is also a copy of a depiction of St Francis painted by Margheritone di Arezzo. The painted crucifix in the church (14th century) was completed by San Giovanni di Butris.[1]
