The church dedicated to the archangel St Michael was built in the 12th century in the centre of the village of Lomello (Pavia), one of the most important towns in northern Italy, where there was an oratory inaugurated as early as the year 441, as evidenced by an original tile. The building is anticipated by a Baroque façade, part of which is not original as the tiburium with the dome and the bell tower are made of terracotta bricks, thus dating back to Romanesque times. The tower has a concert of three bells, made in Piedmont in 1852 using an ultra-light gauge.

This town is very important, since it was here that Queen Theodolinda met and married the king of the Lombards, as history tells us. As early as the Middle Ages, the town had fifteen large churches and convents, of which only the three main ones remain today, since terrible politics destroyed the heritage of one of the most important towns in Italy.
The church was dedicated to the archangel Michael during the Lombard period, as he was one of the patron saints. The old church collapsed during the 1117 earthquake and was inaugurated as new in 1121, the date engraved on one of the tiles still preserved. The church, except for a few Baroque additions, is exactly from that period, as evidenced by every original part of it. The Romanesque temple was built with three naves, preserving its traditional Latin cross plan. The three naves are covered by ancient barrel vaults, supported by imposing brick columns. The walls preserve traces of frescoes dating back to the late Middle Ages, distributed between the right aisle and the apse. A rich French soldier was buried in this church in 1370, after donating one of the main fragments of the True Cross to the provost of the collegiate church.
