The founding building of the order of the Hermits of St. Augustine, which has existed since 1250 on the northern outskirts of Rome, has not survived - the present building was erected between 1472 and 1477 under Pope Sixtus IV (1471-1484). Only two objects from the 13th century liturgical furnishings have survived: the image of St. Luke, still venerated today, and the front architrave of the ciborium, inscribed with the donors' names and the date 1263. The history of the church before 1472 is poorly documented, but some families such as the Annibaldi and de Ceccano seem to have initially financed the building and its furnishing.
