Monuments
Church of Santa Maria della Pace
Bishop Giuseppe Conti laid and blessed the first stone of the church on 1 August 1919, in response to the village's growing population. The church was built on land owned by the Schools for reading, writing, and arithmetic, established by Bishop Giuseppe Pannilini in 1823. Construction was completed in August 1926, and on 7 September, the church was consecrated and dedicated to Santa Maria della Pace by Bishop Conti. The church was later established as a parish in October 1930 but suffered significant damage from Allied bombings during World War II.[2]
