The name is due to the fact that the church was supposedly built on the father’s house of the two Roman martyrs that lived there during III AD, but the first ascertained information on the place dates back to 1192. In the early C. XVII Francesca Montioux, who had been entrusted the church, ordered the building of the monastery which was then expanded a century after. The last restoration dates back to 1973-74. Nowadays from the original façade one can only see the portal surmounted by a tympanum, just like the medieval interior only treasures the eight columns that divide three naves in the church and the Romanesque belltower.
