The church in Riano, now known as the Immaculate Conception, was built in 1490 by the Benedictine monks of St. Paul outside the walls as their parish church, and later rebuilt and enlarged in 1738 by Francesca Maria Ruspoli and dedicated to Mary the Immaculate Virgin.
It is situated in front of the baronial palace and is a modest construction with an elegant 15th century door with simple marble lintels, decorated in the upper frame with a garland, shield and flowing ribbons.
The design of the door is repeated on a smaller scale on the little door to the right hand side.
The church has a nave and the wooden ceiling features the Ruspoli crest.
The square apse holds the main altar with a painting of the Virgin and Child and the two side altars, at mid nave, have been dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary and Our Lady of the Assumption in Heaven.
