Once dependent on the nearby village of Viecave, Crocette and its small community of people who live there revolve around the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta. It was built in 1607 and only 22 years later managed to become independent from the parish of Iddiano. In the churchyard there is a memorial stone in memory of Don Luigi Lenzini, the parish priest who was murdered in July 1945. The buildings of the sacristy, the bell tower and the rectory are joined to the church.

The history of the community of Crocette, politically subjected to Viecave and ecclesiastically to Iddiano, begins when at the beginning of the 17th century the inhabitants built their own church and claimed autonomy from the parish of Iddiano, which they obtained with difficulty in 1629. The community of Crocette, committed to establishing the parish benefice, it received from the bishop the right to elect the parish priest, as happened until recently.
In the churchyard a memorial stone was placed in 2005 in memory of Don Luigi Lenzini, the parish priest murdered in July 1945, one of the many victims of the climate of hatred, resentment and revenge, a consequence of the civil war which tragically divided the world in those years. Italy, the cause of brutal crimes committed by both sides and left unpunished.

In the churchyard there is also a sign indicating the itinerary of the western Via Romea Nonantolana.
