The patronage of this church—dedicated to Saint Thomas of Canterbury—takes us geographically away from the Italian peninsula, across the Alps, and further north to the British Isles. In terms of time, we return to the 12th century. Thomas Becket was Archbishop of Canterbury and, in the conflict between the Church and the Crown (King Henry II), a "martyr of canon law and ecclesiastical freedom," as Pope Alexander III put it on the occasion of his canonization (1173, just three years after Thomas's violent death). His feast day in the calendar of saints is December 29th.

Romanesque church. In 1230 the Gattatico chapel was located under the Parish Church of Sant'Eulalia di Sant'Ilario. In 1628 it passed under the Vicariate of Castelnovo di Sotto and in 1691 it came under the control of the Vicariate of Sant'Ilario. In 1841 the church was subject to the Parish Church of Sorbolo and then, in 1853, it passed to the Diocese of Reggio Emilia. The parish church, dedicated to St. Thomas of Canterbury, is of Romanesque origin but has undergone many transformations over the centuries. The original entrance was located to the east where the choir and presbytery are currently located. The building preserves the relief image of an angel on a brick dating back to the 11th-12th century. The façade, liturgically oriented, presents fifteenth-century features with a double flight of blind arches in the eaves frame. The archivolted portal is surmounted by a large niche on semi-columns. The construction of the bell tower, with a cell with pointed single-lancet windows and a cuspidate roof, dates back to 1882.

Corte San Giorgio - Lentigione Various Roman material was found in the locality. In 1099 San Giorgio with the chapel built there in memory of the same saint was donated by Countess Matilde di Canossa to the Benedictine monastery of Brescello. Around 1100 a court was built there and in 1153 a Bull of Anastasio IV reports the existence of the Church of San Giorgio and its court. Of the Church of San Giorgio we still have memory in the "Rotolo" of the Tithes of the Diocese of Parma among the employees of the Monastery of Brescello. In the Parma diocesan appraisal of 1354 it is exempt from Diocesan Jurisdiction. The possession of San Giorgio was entrusted in 1405 as a fief to the Bernieri family. In 1700 it became the property of the Cisalpine Republic which appropriated the ecclesiastical and monastic structures. In the locality there is currently the Oratory of S. Giorgio erected in 1876 by the then owner Giuseppe Bartolo Soliani to replace the ancient church of the Matildic period with three naves he had demolished. It has a simple gabled façade bordered by pilasters and a frontispiece; the entrance is architraved with an upper lunette window. You can still admire the Romanesque bell tower, built largely with Roman material. Source Pro-Loco Brescello
