Summary (English)
In 2010 the excavations inside the church were completed, the results of which documented its complex and interesting history. This covered a span of 1500 years beginning, between the Early Christian era and start of the early medieval period, with the reuse of a heated apsidal room belonging to a Roman villa. Following numerous alterations the church assumed its present Romanesque form, undergoing modifications in1500.
In the 16th century Renaissance levels an unusual funerary ritual was documented, with infant burials in imbrices with offerings of food and coins. The particularity of the ritual and the anthropological analyses of the skeletal remains have raised interesting questions.
