According to a legend, it was thanks to the intervention of Saint Ambrose that the heads of the saints Nazario and Celso were moved from Milan to Trivento in 398. The current building dates back to the 11th century. A plaque today placed in one of the internal pillars near the entrance certifies the consecration of the cathedral on May 15, 1076 and its dedication to Saints Nazario and Celso. The church then underwent several renovations, in particular in the Baroque period and in the eighteenth century. Of particular historical and architectural value is the crypt, dating back to the 11th-12th century and dedicated to San Casto. A Roman inscription at the base of a pillar with the dedication to Diana suggests that the crypt was built on an ancient Roman temple dedicated to this deity. The environment is divided by the bare columns into seven small naves; it is also enriched by the presence of 13th century frescoes, a wooden statue of the Madonna on the throne and a stone bas-relief depicting the Trinity between angels and dolphins, from the same period.
