This is a little jewel in Verona. A small and very ancient church, very intimate and warm.
Various parts of its floor are glass-covered allowing views through the remains of a 4th century Paleo-Christian structure. When the first church was partially destroyed by fire, at the end of 6th century, it was replaced by a second basilica, most on the site of the present-day cloister. These Paleo-Christian structure were themselves built on pre-existing Roman remains, probably thermal baths and a temple to Minerva.
On the right hand wall of the simple interior is a polychromatic triptych in stone dating back to 1300 and depicting the Madonna, St. John the Baptist, S. John the Evangelist and a faithful follower. There is also a fifteenth century wooden choral box.
According to history, this is the church in which Dante read his "De quaestio de aqua e de terra" in 1320.
