Santa Maria Assunta, Romanesque church building in Neviano degli Arduini, Italy

Santa Maria Assunta is a Romanesque church on a hilltop in Sasso, a hamlet of Neviano degli Arduini. It has a basilican plan with three naves ending in three semicircular apses, the central one taller and pierced by two round-arched windows. The facade and walls are clad in irregular sandstone blocks, with a round-arched portal, a small Greek-cross opening and a hanging-arch frieze. The neo-Romanesque bell tower stands detached to the north.

The original place of worship dates back to the early medieval period between the 8th and 9th centuries, but underwent major reconstruction starting in 1082 under Countess Matilde di Canossa. This rebuilding established the Romanesque form that has remained largely intact to the present day.

The church was elevated to a Marian sanctuary on 19 April 1965 by Bishop of Parma Evasio Colli, six days after the completion of the 1950–1965 restoration, and dedicated to Maria Madre della Chiesa. Its other name, pieve di Sasso, comes from the hamlet of Sasso on whose hill it stands.

The church sits on a hilltop in the Sasso area with good visibility of the surroundings, making it accessible on foot from nearby villages. The elevated location also offers views across the local landscape and easier navigation to find the building.

An early medieval sandstone epigraph, probably from the 8th or 9th century, was once set on a chancel screen of the original church lower on the slope. It was recovered and walled into the right nave of the rebuilt church, where visitors can still see it.
