It is a Franciscan monastery church built by Francesco Barberini on the request of the Blessed Bonaventura Gran and was completed in 1689.

Construction work began in 1675 and was completed in 1689, but Bonaventura did not live to see it, having died five years earlier.

[4] The semicircular window above it, like the entire upper façade above the statue, was only created when the church was vaulted in 1839.

[2] The building is covered by a barrel vault built in 1839; previously the church had only a flat ceiling.

The structural pilasters of the walls and the triumphal arch to the choir follow the Tuscan order.

On the left side wall at the front is an altar with a representation of the Archangel Michael, also by Benaschi.

Painter Francesco Mancini (1679–1758) is buried in the church; as is Cardinal Silvio Valenti Gonzaga (†1756).
