Parish Church of San Giorgio
It was probably built at the end of the 11th century, in Romanesque style, and renovated several times. It was rebuilt from 1676 in Baroque style - except for the apse, which is still Romanesque. In 2000, crypt excavations led to several findings, such as capitals, columns and frescoes from the original Romanesque building and shards dating back to the previous period. Inside, it preserves some 16th-century paintings, such as the altarpiece portraying the “Vergine col Bambino tra S. Giorgio e S. Girolamo” (Giuliesca School) modeled after a sketch by Giulio Romano kept in the Louvre Museum.
Probably built at the end of the 11th century with a Romanesque layout, the Chiesa Parrocchiale di San Giorgio (Parish Church of Saint George) has undergone numerous transformations over the centuries.
Starting in 1676, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style, preserving only the original Romanesque apse. In 2000, archaeological excavations carried out in the crypt of the earlier Romanesque church brought to light capitals, columns and fresco fragments from the original structure, as well as pottery shards from an even earlier period. The Church houses several 16th-century paintings, including an altarpiece depicting the Virgin and Child between Saints George and Jerome, inspired by a sketch by Giulio Romano now preserved in the Louvre Museum.
