The church of San Pietro is all that remains of the homonymous Benedictine monastery founded along the via Francigena and attested for the first time in 761.Although the abbey was damaged several times during earthquakes and restored in modern times, it is still possible today to make out clearly the medieval structure of its church. The importance of the church of San Pietro was due, since the Middle Ages, to its strategic position along the Lucca-Luni road.
