Apparently, the two characters, known far beyond Italy's borders and created by the writer Giovanni Guareschi (1908 to 1968), are having a brief conversation. After one of their – once again public and heated – verbal confrontations, the author of the still popular short stories has the priest address his eternal adversary with these beautiful words: "God be with you and enlighten you, Comrade Mayor, so that one day, after our earthly journey has ended, we may find each other side by side at the beginning of that road that leads to eternity."

It is first mentioned in 1140 and then in other documents in the following centuries as dependent on the Parish of Sorbolo. In a document from 1493, the church appears instead as dependent on the Abbess of Sant'Alessandro di Parma. By the 18th century, the old church was in a state of disrepair, and construction of the new building began (1793). The apse of the medieval church still stands in the current sacristy.

Finally fixed

Planning the tour of the Castles of the Duchy of Parme and Piacenza we reached the "Fortress of Fontanellato". Rocca Sanvitale is an imposing fortress built in the 14th century on a pre-existing 12th century building. Subjected to numerous restorations, over the centuries it was transformed from a defensive fortress into the residence of the noble Sanvitale Counts who then inhabited it for around six centuries. It has a square plan with crenellated walls and four corner towers and is still surrounded by a large moat once fed by water produced by a spring and rearranged at the beginning of the 17th century by the Parma architect Smeraldo Smeraldi; the entrance to the internal courtyard is via a drawbridge. In 1948 the last Count handed over the Fortress with its furnishings to the Municipality, which subsequently transformed it into a museum.
