It belongs to the Congregation of the Daughters of St Anne, who have their General Curia here. Built in the 19th century, it was consecrated in 1887 and underwent renovations in 1927. The church houses the tomb of the foundress of the Congregation, Sister Anna Rosa Gattorno, who died in the adjoining convent on 6 May 1900.
The façade is in Neo-Renaissance style. The interior has a single nave; there is a large backlit stained glass window in the ceiling, which replaced a 19th-century fresco depicting the coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, consisting of six panels arranged in the shape of a cross: the crucifixion is depicted in the central panel.
At Armellini's time, the church had seven altars:
Those on the left are dedicated to St. Francis of Paola, Our Lady of Lourdes and the Saviour; those on the right to St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anne and St. Michael the Archangel. The altar of Our Lady of Lourdes is situated at the back of a small grotto at the entrance of which there is the image of the Conception and to the left there is the jet of holy water from the miraculous grotto.
