The very tall bell tower was erected from 1930 to 1934. The construction rests on an ancient base found during the excavations. For some there stood the tower of the castle of Matilde, for others it was the site of the ancient Baptistery of the Pieve. On 27 January 2007 the Giovanni Paolo II oratory was inaugurated, located in Piazza Aldo Moro, near the church. Following the earthquake of 20 and 29 May 2012 in the church, they were severely damaged five times, currently secured.
