The eclectic facade has accumulated elements from refurbishments over the centuries. A church at this site was first built in 1258 in a romanesque-style; in 1282 it was assigned to the cloistered Augustinian monks. During the second half of the 14th century, the church was refurbished in a gothic style.
The elaborate ogival entrance portal was erected between 1398 and 1413, under the patronage of the Malatesta dei Sonetti. The iconography contains the lions of the Malatesta coat of arms. A further refurbishment occurred in the 18th century, surrounding the portal with a baroque facade.
The interior retains a 15th-century wooden choir with intarsia, likely built to celebrate the wedding in 1475 between Costanzo Sforza and Camilla d'Aragona. The 32 panels depict buildings restored in the territory by the Sforza. [1]
The church has a number of oval portraits depicting blessed and holy Augustinians, including the blessed Guglielmo and blessed Antonio di Amandola, by Pietro Tedeschi. In addition, a Blessed Caterina da Pallanza, St Giovanni da San Facondo, a Blessed Andrea da Montereale and the Blessed Giuliana da Busto Arsizio are works by Carlo Magini.
The organ, recently restored, was a work of Gaetano Callido (1727-1813). [2] [3]

The Pesaro Altarpiece is an oil on panel painting by Giovanni Bellini, dated to some time between 1471 and 1483. It is considered as one of Bellini's first mature works, though there are doubts on its dating and on who commissioned it. The work's technique is not only an early use of oils but also of blue smalt, a by-product of the glass industry. It had already been used in the Low Countries in Bouts' 1455 The Entombment, but this marked smalt's first use in Italian art, twenty years before Leonardo da Vinci used it in Ludovico il Moro's apartments in Milan in 1492. Bellini also uses the more traditional lapis lazuli and azurite for other blues in the work.
