This church went through a series of vicissitudes but is now quite well preserved and constitutes the Caprino Cemetery Chapel. Here the sculptural cycle of the "Lamentation over the dead Christ" was originally housed, currently it is found in the museum at Palazzo Carlotti.

The cycle path leads to Ceredello: a small hamlet, once autonomous and today a fraction of the Municipality of Caprino Veronese. Its presence is attested at least from the middle of the 12th century. At the end of the century the considerable properties that were registered by the Cathedral of Verona began to be documented.
