In the Quartier Rivapiana stands the church of San Quirico e Giolitta, which was already mentioned in 1313 as a place of worship. It was expanded in later centuries and their orientation changed. In the single-nave church room, three fresco cycles can be seen along the walls: on the south wall, some fragments of the oldest frescoes from the 13th century, with scenes from the life of Jesus; on the south wall the cycle with scenes of the Nativity and the Adoration of the Magi (15th century); on the triumphal arch a fresco of the Annunciation, with a vivid cityscape in the background (16th century); on the north wall. over the old church gate, an Enthroned Madonna and San Rocco. Near the church is a tower of medieval design, whose oldest part goes back to the 12th century. Rebuilt at the end of the 15th century as a bell tower, it used to be a watchtower, probably dating back to an earlier construction than the church.

The park, the church and the villa are an oasis of calm. You have to know how to get there. From the bike path there is a passage under the railway line.
