History

A church in this town was present in early medieval towns. The church of San Michele, a dedication favored by the Lombards, replaced an earlier parish church dedicated to San Andrea. The first documentation of the church dates to 1290-1292. Documents recall a papal visit in 1574. The present church structure was erected in 1705; and in 1718 the pope Clement XI elevated the church to a Collegiate church.

The church houses a notable wooden choir stalls, and a marble baptismal font dating to 18th century. There are also some 17th-century reproductions of works by Guido Reni, Correggio and Federigo Barocci.
