Finding the older church of San Fermo Minore too narrow and cramped, the Oratorians in 1746 decided to replace it with this larger structure using plans by Andrea Camerata.

The adjacent oratory was designed by Adriano Cristofali.

The neoclassical church was decorated with works transferred from the San Fermo Minore, when that church was destroyed.

[2] The present Filippini church was heavily damaged during the Second World War, and subsequently rebuilt.

The belltower contains a ring of 6 bells in G, cast in 1931 and rung with the Veronese bellringing art.
