The Vezzolano Abbey, or better, the vicarage of Santa Maria di Vezzolano, is an architectonic jewel which makes worth a visit. “It was part of an important monastic complex, also named in a 1095 document. The buildings which where part of the monastery that arrived till now are the church, the colonnade and the chapter house”.
