The Del Voto Church was built close to the historic centre of religious and civil power following a vow made by the community during the plague of 1630. Under the direction of Cristoforo Malagola, work started around 1634. He had used the San Salvatore Church in Bologna as his model, reminiscent of the Reggiana basilica of the Madonna della Ghiara, a site of Virgin cult worship. In the interior of the church and worth viewing is the Pala della Peste by Ludovico Lana, which shows the events leading up to the building of the church.
