Chiesa Di San Pietro Apostolo: The Chiesa di San Pietro Apostolo in Costamezzana, a frazione of Noceto in the province of Parma, is a Catholic church with neo-Byzantine forms.
The church has a neo-Byzantine style.
Construction of the church began in 1909 in the new village of Costamezzana to replace the old medieval chapel located in the castle. The works were completed in 1917, but the facade was not built until 1930, according to a design by architect Camillo Uccelli.
In 1954, the two main chapels and the apse were decorated with frescoes by the painter Pietro Furlotti.
The church has a single nave with three chapels on each side, with an entrance in the northeast and a semicircular choir in the southwest.
The symmetrical facade is completely covered in brick and is preceded by a spacious forecourt that is reached via a monumental stone staircase with two ramps.
