The church is dedicated to the Saints Vito and Modesto, it is built with a single little hall, it is traditionally considered one of the oldest religious building in Nepi. Old documents testify it was built probably in the second half of th 15th century, but the old and original structure and the oldest frescos inside it, still visible today, gave us the possibility to date it in the 12th century. In the second half of the 15th century the roof tiles were taken and used to cover the Cathedral roof. The church remained without a roof for almost a century. This state of abandon brought the structure to a slow decay and it was also proposed to destroy it

Alla seconda metà del XVI risalgono lavori di restauro che portarono anche al rifacimento dell’apparato decorativo. A questa fase sono databili due affreschi raffiguranti San Luca Evangelista e la Madonna con Bambino con i Santi Vito e Modesto.

It was renovated in the second half of the 16th century and also new decorations were made. It is possible to date in those days 2 important frescos still visible inside the church. One is about Saint Luke The Evangelist and the other one Virgin Mary with the Saints Vito and Modesto.

This last one took the place of a previous deteriorated fresco which, together with a painting of the Crucifixion, is the only decoration that remains today of the original structure.
