Pieve di Montedivalli

The Pieve di Sant'Andrea, reopened in 2011 after a careful restoration, is located in the Municipality of Podenzana, in the hamlet of Montedivalli. The first testimonies are dated in 963 AD, when the emperor Otto I recognized the bishop of Luni the "castrum sancti Andree," but it was in 1148 that the building was mentioned as "parish".

The parish church, a significant monument of Lunigiana, has Romanesque sandstone columns with phytomorphic and anthropomorphic capitals.

On the facade, a mysterious figure could represent Bishop Venanzio, Bishop of Luni in the sixth century. Inside there are several objects of local veneration, made by workers of Sampling: the baptismal font characteristic of ancient churches and three marble sculptures of the fourteenth century Saint Peter, the Madonna with the child and Christ in piety.
