The small church of Christ was erected to preserve a fresco of the crucifix, oil painted on plaster by an anonymous artist in Reggio during the plague of 1630-1631. The building began in 1761, designed by Giovan Battista Cattani, known as Cavallari. The church was opened to worship in 1763 and completed at the end of the century.
