History
A church of Santo Stefano is documented as early as 964 and was rebuilt several times in the Middle Ages. The present building was begun in 1696 to a design by Girolamo Frigimelica Roberti and finished, apart from the façade, by 1778. The façade remains unfinished; its niche holds a 1901 statue of the Redeemer by Francesco Sartor.
