The latter consecrated him a bishop and entrusted him with the evangelisation of some regions of Italy. St Mark spread Christianity in Marsica, lower Lazio and [...].
The church was founded by the provost Adiutorio in 1208, and was originally dedicated to St John, as attested in Innocent III's diploma of the same year, which mentions it as the church of “Sancti Ioannis supra muro de medio”.
