Placed on the right side of the main door there is a plaque that reads:

Eretto nel 1516 dalla confraternita del Crocefisso, che venerava un'immagine dipinta sulle mura della città nel XV secolo (ora sull'altare maggiore), fu ricostruito nel 1762. L'interno costituisce un perfetto esempio di decorazione settecentesca con ornati di Antonio Gamberini (1782-88), stucchi di Luigi Acquisti e affreschi di Flaminio Minozzi. In sacrestia si trova l'Addolorata dello scultore Angelo G. Piò (1730).

"The original temple was erected in 1516 by the Brotherhood of the Crucified, who worshiped an image painted on the walls of the city in the fifteenth century (now the main altar), it was rebuilt in 1762.
The Shrine of the Holy Cross is rich in eighteenth-century decoration adorned with Antonio Gamberini, stucco and frescoes by Luigi Flaminio Purchases Minozzi.
In the sacristy is the Sorrows of the sculptor Angelo Piò G. (1730).
The church was built on a bridge over the stream that passed Aposa on land owned by the monks of St. Dominic, as a result of a miraculous event, which took place at the beginning of the sixteenth century, sparked by a crucifix painted on the wall of the convent of the Dominicans. Even today, the crucifix is kept inside the church.
The construction of the original church began in 1516 and then the church was rebuilt in 1762 in Baroque style. From 1823 to the beginning of the twentieth century the church was officiated by the Friars Minor."
