The earliest documents referring to it date back to 1684. However, records from the late 1500s already mention a church dedicated to Saint Anthony in this area—likely a smaller oratory—which was later demolished because it had fallen into ruin. For many years it served as the seat of one of Vaprio’s confraternities, which was dedicated to supporting young poor girls. By providing them with a dowry—funded through bequests and the rental income of a tavern in Canonica d’Adda—the confraternity helped them marry, provided that the ceremony took place on June 13th, the feast day of Saint Anthony. It later became an integral part of the nearby Villa Paleni Falcò complex, which in the 19th century inherited the property from the noble Spanish family Valcarcel De Lumiares.
