The present church was built in 1802–1832 based on designs by
Andrea Vici and . It was erected on the site of the previous medieval
Romanesque-
Gothic cathedral, destroyed in the 1799 earthquake. The sacristy still houses works such as a 13th-century painted crucifix, a 15th-century icon of the
Madonna della Misericordia, and other paintings. The church once housed a large polyptych by
Carlo Crivelli, which was disassembled and sold: the central panel is now in the
Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan. One of the chapels once contained frescoes, now lost, by
Andrea Sacchi. The crypt has two 14th-century lions sculpted by
Armanno da Pioraco, a bust of Cardinal
Angelo Giori and his brother Prospero by followers of Bernini, and a marble 14th- or 15th-century coffin holding the relics of
Saint Ansovinus (a 9th-century bishop of Camerino). The cathedral was declared a minor basilica in 1970. ==References==
