Nestled in the serene landscapes of Badolo, the Church of St. Michael Archangel is a testament to resilience and faith. Originally built in the 14th century, this sacred site endured destruction during 1944 but emerged anew in 1976. The blend of Emilian craftsmanship and modern touches, including a bell tower from 1728, creates a harmonious ambiance.

A symbol of the community's enduring spirit, this church invites visitors to connect with its rich history and embrace the tranquility of the Contrafforte Pliocenico Nature Reserve.

In 1944 the original church was completely destroyed by a bombing. The sacred building was rebuilt after the war on the same site where the old church once stood, the remains of which were partly incorporated into the new structure inaugurated in 1976.
