• In 1357 the Marquis Tommaso Magnani, owner of land in the locality called Tombe, obtained permission from the Bishop of Bologna and the Abbot of Zola Predosa to build a chapel-of-ease here. In 1924 Cardinal Nasalli Rocca upgraded it to parish status on the condition that a new building be constructed. The present church, an interpretation of Gothic style by civil engineer Giuseppe Gualandi, was completed in 1925, while the original building, authenically Romanesque, was used as a cement factory until it was finally demolished in 1960 to build a new rectory. Inside we find a 17th century organ and some works of art by contemporary, local Zola Predosa artists such as Teresa Comastri and Francesco Martani. The church has no bell tower, but rather the bells for playing the typical Bolognese style of melodic ringing are hanging in a wooden structure located outside the church.
