The Church of San Pietro is a Catholic place of worship with Baroque architecture located on Via Nazionale in Ozzano Taro, a hamlet of Collecchio, in the province and diocese of Parma. It is the seat of a parish in the pastoral area of Pedemontana. HISTORY: The original place of worship was built in the Middle Ages; the earliest evidence of its existence dates back to November 7, 1141, when the Azano chapel was mentioned in a papal bull issued by Pope Innocent II among the properties whose possession the pontiff confirmed to the canons of the chapter of Parma Cathedral. In 1230, the Ecclesie S. Petri de Azano was mentioned in the Capitulum seu Rotulus Decimarum of the Diocese of Parma among the direct dependencies of the chapter, despite being located within the territory administered by the parish of Fornovo. In 1564, the church was elevated to an independent parish seat, with the right to appoint parish priests disputed between the canons of the chapter and the Bishop of Parma; the dispute was resolved only on May 29, 1605, thanks to the intervention of Pope Paul V. At the beginning of the 18th century, the church fell into ruin; between 1750 and 1756, it was completely rebuilt in Baroque style. In 1964, the interior was modified and restored; the rectory and youth center were also built adjacent to the church.

An early Christian church, probably built over a pre-Christian sanctuary, stood on the site of today's cathedral square from the 4th or 5th century. From 860 onwards, the Church of St. Mary was built nearby, which became the cathedral. After its destruction by fire, construction of the present cathedral began in 1074 in several phases. The bell tower was built between 1284 and 1294 in the Gothic style. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dom_von_Parma

The Church of Santa Croce, of ancient Romanesque origins, stands along the route of the ancient Via Francigena. The building was built in 1210, while the year of consecration in 1222, with an architectural structure with three naves. The building underwent numerous modifications: it was first raised and then covered with a dome, finally enriched by a notable chapel called San Giuseppe, thus assuming its current appearance. Traces of the origins can be found in the capitals of the pillars of the three naves, which show purely medieval subjects and are decorative parts of great value. The author is among the followers of the masters who worked on the construction site of the Cathedral of Parma. The central nave is frescoed by Giovanni Maria Conti della Camera (around 1635) as is the Chapel of San Giuseppe where you can also admire a wooden group made by Angelo Fontana in the second half of the 18th century. The church also houses altarpieces and works of art from the Baroque period. SOURCE: https://parmawelcome.it/scheda/chiesa-di-santa-croce/
