Church of St. John the Baptist

There was already in the VIII-IX century a chapel, then demolished to make room for the parish, in Romanesque style, dedicated to Santa Maria, mentioned in a bull of 1186 of Pope Urban III. The bell tower and some walls of the presbytery date back to that period. In fact, around 1570 the Romanesque church was demolished and a new sacred building was built, dedicated to San Giovanni Battista. In addition to the altars, the church preserves real masterpieces, such as the choir stalls of the presbytery and the wooden benches and counter of the sacristy, a work of the early eighteenth century by the sculptor Giacomo Luchini.
