Key to Umbria: Spello
 

The church probably belonged originally to the Confraternita dei Disciplinati di Sant’ Anna, which is documented from 1362 and was suppressed in 1571 by the Apostolic Visitor, Monsignor Pietro Camaiani (see also the page on the Cappella Tega).  The church has been heavily restored over the centuries.
