The Church of San Lorenzo is a Catholic place of worship with Baroque and Rococo architecture, located in Fornio, a hamlet of Fidenza, in the province of Parma and the Diocese of Fidenza. It is the seat of a parish within the Vicariate of Fidenza. HISTORY: The original place of worship was built in the 12th century; the earliest evidence of its existence dates back to May 4, 1196, when it was mentioned in a papal bull by Pope Celestine III. The Furnulis Chapel was later mentioned in the Capitulum seu Rotulus Decimarum of the Diocese of Parma in 1230; The dedication to Saint Lawrence the Martyr was first mentioned in the Ratio Decimarum of 1299. In 1698, the adjacent bell tower was demolished, while the old medieval church was demolished and rebuilt starting in 1708, reversing its original orientation. The Baroque place of worship, consecrated by the Bishop of Fidenza Gherardo Zandemaria, was completed in 1742, while the new bell tower was erected in 1743. In 1900, the bell tower was raised to a design by engineer Rastelli. In 1910, the interior was frescoed by the Colorno painter Dino Mora, who also decorated the façade with the image of Saint Lawrence the Martyr. The staircase leading to the church was built in 1951 and inaugurated on September 8, 1954, by Bishop Paolo Rota, who also consecrated the new high altar and three bells on the same occasion.

It is recommended to book a guided tour, free donation

Not very challenging ring with short uphill sections and just as many downhill ones, possibility of varying and or breaking up the route by alternating little-trafficked asphalt road, woods and vineyards. I recommend towards sunset, a splendid view of the Rocca di Castell'Arquato opens up.

Wonderful abbey - a former Cistercian monastery - A dove dropped pieces of wood, thus determining the size of the abbey. Hence the name Colomba = dove

This was one of the most important Cistercian centers in Italy. The church was built around 1135 according to the wishes of Saint Bernard of Claivaux and the Pallavicino family. Of the abbey complex, the Romanesque church with 14th- and 15th-century frescoes and the beautiful cloister have been preserved. The old facade of the basilica is still visible in the upper part, behind the 14th-century porch. The church consists of three naves with a transept following the classical plan of the primitive churches of the Cistercian order. The southern part of the transept has a beautiful staircase, which provides access to the monks' dormitory.

For the celebration of Corpus Domini you can admire the wonderful flowered carpet, better known as the "infiorata", prepared by the monks with the help of the local faithful in the Cistercian abbey of Chiaravalle della Colomba (Alseno).
