Between the Lavino and Samoggia streams, this ancient church near San Lorenzo in Collina took on its current appearance in the 15th century. The rose window and Renaissance cloister make it one of the most fascinating in the Bolognese Apennines, despite the fact that frescoes relating to the life of San Lorenzo were erased – a few centuries ago.

The church stands on top of a summit from which the view over the gullies and the plain is particularly beautiful. It can be reached by a fairly steep but not impossible climb, around 10%. Along the way up there are meadows on the side of the hill on which you can proceed on foot and enjoy an even better view.
