In 1752, Don Andrea Boldini, a parishioner commissioned the work from the local sculptor Beniamino Simoni of Fresine. However, due to continual fights with the parishioners and inhabitants, Simoni was dismissed, and the work was reassigned to Donato and Grazioso Fantoni, who completed stations 8, 9, and 10. Every ten years, the townspeople re-enact the scenes of the Passion of Christ.[2]
