History edit
Located in the west portion of the town, it is also known as the church of the Cappuccini. The site once was the site during the 10-12th-centuries for the Monastery of Santa Maria in Auregiario. In 1570, the property was granted by the Duke Alfonso II d'Este to the Capuchin order. A new church was built in 1665, with a later Neoclassic-style façade. The interior is notable for a terra-cotta image of Santa Maria in Aula Regia.[1]
