The Church of San Lorenzo is located on the old road to Travalle, in Pizzidimonte, a cluster of houses attached to the south coast of Poggio Secco, right above the village of Querce. The origin dates back to the 13th century, although it has been remodeled several times.

Saint Lawrence / "San LORENZO", to whom this church above Querce is dedicated, is one of the early Christian martyrs from a time when Christianity was still forbidden. He was the Pope's archdeacon and was asked by the pagan emperor Valerian to hand over the church's treasure. Lawrence asked for three days, during which he distributed the church's assets among the poor inhabitants of Rome and, after the agreed time, came to the emperor with the poor to present them to him as the church's treasure.
He was then tortured to death. Legend has it that he was roasted alive on a grill - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Lawrence - over coals. He is said to have been in good spirits and asked his executioner if he would turn him over.
The memorial day of San Lorenzo in the calendar of saints is August 10th.
