It was discovered in 1985 and restored in 1989 through the intervention of the Sopritendenza alle Belle Arti of the Regione Umbria.
Inside, a large fresco is visible, a Majesty, attributed by Federico Zeri to Piermatteo of Amelia (ca. 1481-83), in addition to many votive offerings donated to the church because of a plague.
On the front of the shrine, the cycle shows on the left an angel holding a page with the proclamation, at the center the Eternal Father in the form of a dove, on the right the Virgin holding an open book in the hand.
