The Church San Pietro in oliveto grove has a single hall with a rectangular apse. The antiquity of the place of worship is confirmed by liturgical furnishings dating back to between the 9th and 10th centuries. The stoop is still in oolithic limestone decorated with intertwined circles, walled in the southern perimeter of the church, while two fragments of plutei ended up in a private collection in Brescia.\u00a0 In a photo of the early twentieth century, the two stone hurdles can still be seen, with interlacing motifs of the southern windows, which are compared to churches of the eighth century. The original architectural structure is therefore perfectly legible, despite the fourteenth-century reconstruction of the apse, contemporary with the fresco, on the north wall, of a Last Supper. In the 16th century a portico was placed against the south side of the presbytery and on the plaster there are still numerous inscriptions traced with a reddish color. …………… Inside the church San Pietro in oliveto no burials have been laid, instead present outside from the one that can be considered of the founder as built contextually to the southern perimeter. ……… The subsequent graves were placed along the perimeter and then gradually outwards. ………. The small dimensions, the typology of the church, the presence of burials and the chronology allow to propose a function of private funerary chapel, built by an owner inside his company. (G.P.
