Vista in data 04/05/2025 in gita in comitiva .Chiesa fondata da Oberto Spinola nel 1188 ,su di un terreno di proprietà del genero Grimaldi .Lo stesso Spinola ottenne dal Papa Gregorio VIII che la chiesa diventasse parrocchia gentilizia delle due famiglie .Nel corso dei secoli ,subì interventi per riportarla ai requisiti di adeguatezza previsti dal Concilio di Trento ,visto le condizioni in cui versava .Riedificata in forma barocche dal 1626 ,portata a compimento nel 1650.

Straordinario luogo!!

Vivo a Genova da circa cinque anni. E' la prima volta che vedo un posto così meraviglioso, un posto che vale davvero la pena visitare.
