The current church (in Via Cavour) was rebuilt in the years from 1789 to 1819, largely on the remains of an older church, of which there are testimonies dating back to 1144. The parish was chosen by some Malatesta as their burial place. In the first chapel on the right there are the epigraphs of two illustrious Soglianese: one by the poet Lorenzo Frizzolio (1532-1597) and the other in memory of Monsignor Michele Rubertini (1885-1978). In 1937, new restoration work began that gave the temple its current appearance, in 1938 the church was frescoed by the Cesena painter Fortunato Teodorani; In October 1944, the parish church was hit by grenades in the eastern part but the recovery work in a short time made the building usable again. The last restorations date back to the 2000s.
