The origins of the church date back to 1186. It is believed to have been founded by the Monteroni family of Siena with an adjoining hospice for Sienese pilgrims. Restored in 1245 and 1597, it was subsequently rebuilt in 1682. The façade presents two tripartite orders divided by double pilasters. A triangular tympanum is placed at the crowning, inside which there is a dedicatory inscription to the Virgin of the Assumption. The interior, divided into three naves bordered by eight ancient Ionic columns, is covered by a barrel vault. On the high altar, one can admire the 18th-century Madonna between St. Peter Nolasco and St. Peter Pascasio, probably by Pompeo Batoni.
