The church of San Magno or San Manno, it is found just outside from the wall urbiche in the road that connects Foligno to Montefalco to the height of the dilemma for Corvia. It is supposed that in the first edificazione the church was of style romanico and of more reduced dimensions. The first summons, in official documents, goes back to 1210 when the pope Innocenzo III the appointment in the Privilege of Eligio Bishop of Foligno. Around the XIII sec. a collegiata should be been, in fact appeared yourselves a Priore and some Canonical. The Church of Main San says' Machisielli should have a large income if a document of 1295, considers the entries of 1740 hovers and 16 money. Surely in this year was already a collegiata that had, likely, in commune with Holy Maria Infraportas the Priore. In 1400 itself ebbe the alternation of three parish priests in the care of the parish; such changes got tired the inhabitants that asked and ottennero from the Bishop Onofrio you Drink, of to to be expropriated in the parish of Holy Maria Infraportas. Another version, supported from the historical Ludovico Jacobilli, performs that in that time the parish venne abolished because because of the wars and of the passage of the soldiers, the population is transferred all to the shelter of the wall. Between 1408 and 1413 the territory folignate venne devastated from the bands of Arm from Ram and from the King Ladislao of Naples, which cut the bridge that was overlooking the church. In 1476 the Pope Sixtus IV during the stay to Foligno, with appropriate bubble, the collegiata abolished of it. The church conobbe a period of I forget long about a century; finche in 1572 the Commune founded a public fair that itself tenne in the road that from Holy Maria leads to the church of Main San. Of the ancient basilica not awn nothing of visible, was regenerated in the present shapes in 1587 with the thoughtful offers from the pious hermit Carlo Maria Sorrels. In the life of the Ven. Giovanni Baptist Calves, an educatore compared from some to san Black Filippo, it is told that just outside from the wall was yourselves an image frescoed over an old wall I post near the river Mouse, goddess the Madonna of Main San. A lot of persons considered it miraculous for thanks received or assumed. The ven. it every Saturday to the end is brought yourselves of to revolt its word burning to the agreed and of to preside over it the liturgies; would seem that in a first time had thought to establish itself to Main San, before be based on the oratory of the Good one Jesus. During the Austrian war of succession (1742), in occasion of the passage of the Spanish army, the church divenne a hospital from field with annexed cemetery, and in 1744 the divenne for the Austrians. In 1747 the Bishop mons. Maffei poté to return it to the religion and since it is found in open country and in a fertile place, divenne the center devozionale for the religion of a Holy Farmer; San Isidoro. In 1770 to work of mons. Domenico says Red, secret chaplain of the Pope, venne founded the confraternita of sant' Isidoro. Not sappiamo if the church venne confiscated and then returned with the unity of Italy, but there is a tombstone that awaited the reopening to the religion after 15 years of usi you desecrate in 1884.
