The front of the Church shows the sloping roofs, that come from the elevation of the main nave of 1600. Looking at the original structure of the Church, it is possible to see the hut shape, while the elevation of the nave has been hidden by the plastering. In addition, the front of the Church is divided into three parts as it is inside. In the high side of the front there are an oculus, located in the middle, and two single-lancet windows in the secondary naves. The architects decided to complete the front with two doors: the main door is located in the centre, and it has a secondary door beside, which is smaller.

The founders gave to the town the name of Brebbia (in old Greeks 'Brabia' means victory). At first, they decided to build Minerva's temple in order to celebrate the victory against the Celts, who occupied the cities of Milano and Como.

Following Teodosio's decision to undergo the Chatolic religion, the Romans decided to replace Minerva's Temple with a Church. The church soon became replaced with the St. Peter and Paul Church. The construction of the new church was also due to the fact that the population was increasing and was needed a more suitable structure.
