It’s the first church built in Isolotto neighborhood, the working-class district inaugurated in the 50s by the city mayors Fabiani and La Pira. The denomination of this cult site comes from the name of the area where the Mannelli family, patrons of the church, had their country residence. The octagonal building is surmounted by a dome and the access to the oratory is preceded by a 17th century porticato, frescoed by Paolo Schiavo. The same artist also decorated the interior of the church with depictions of saint Francis, saint Quirinus of Tegernsee, John the Baptist with angels, the Evangelists inside the pendentives and the Annonciation on panel (1460).
