The church dates back to the 10th century, but its current form dates back to the 15th century. On the simple salient façade, made of bricks and river pebbles, like the entire building, there is an ogee portal which leads into the interior with three naves. Particularly relevant are the recently restored frescoes from the end of the 15th century, probably by the Boxilio brothers of Castelnuovo Scrivia, also active in the construction of the Milan Cathedral. The most notable is that of the apse basin: Christ Pantocrator surrounded by the symbols of the four evangelists with the Virgin on one side and Saint Michael the Archangel on the other. A jewel that is worth a visit.

Romanesque church from 965 with frescoes from the 15th century. Information board inside and in front of it, unfortunately only in Italian. Very simple church interior from the beginnings of European Christianization. Some of the frescoes are of high artistic quality. Very impressive. Open Saturday and Sunday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

An interesting medieval cycle frescoes the walls of this ancient parish church, which, in the town of Volpedo, bewitches the eyes. Rivalta Scrivia, Cistercian Abbey Lost in the countryside, a splendid abbey stands between past and present, inside which there are many frescoes, which, as for Volpedo, often represent thanks to a saint, or to the Madonna. They are the frescoes on the columns, while the pictorial cycles on the walls are part of the very being of the abbey. Despite the restorations, it is sad to see many of them marred by the need to get more light, opening windows and doors, cutting so abruptly. However, their message and the mysticism they emanate does not disappear.

On the occasion of the strawberry festival I passed in front of the historical monument church of Volpedo, seeing the doors open to the public I didn't miss the opportunity to see the wonders kept inside and I wasn't wrong, frescoes from the late fifteenth century surrounded me thanks to the recent restoration. Don't miss the visit as soon as it is possible to visit it.

A beautiful 1000 year old Catholic Church, quite small inside. Attended a wedding here, very nice ceremony, however it was quite warm inside. Thankfully we received some handheld fans to cool ourselves down ??
