Sights include the Romanesque
pieve of San Giorgio, built in the 12th century over a
Lombard (and perhaps pre-
Roman ) religious place. The interior has a nave and two aisles, of the same height, divided by piers. Some of the latter are decorated by 14th-century paintings. The basements of the columns are re-used Roman altars. The church houses also 11th-century frescoes, including a
Last Supper ; also notable is the
ciborium , built during the reign of the Lombard king
Liutprand (711-744). The bell tower and the cloister are also from the 12th century.
