Santa Maria Assunta

The church structure presents three naves ending in apses, with a west-facing entrance and an east-oriented presbytery following traditional religious architecture patterns.

The original place of worship dates from the early medieval period between the 8th and 9th centuries, with reconstruction starting in 1082 under Countess Matilde di Canossa.

This Catholic church maintains regular religious services and functions as a Marian sanctuary, dedicated specifically to Mary Mother of the Church since 1965.

The church stands on a hilltop in Sasso, featuring a bell tower constructed between 1947 and 1948 after German troops destroyed the previous wooden framework.

The building contains a medieval sandstone inscription from its original structure, which was moved from the presbytery rail to the right nave during reconstruction.
