Started in 1610 by Giovanni Battista Cavagna of Naples and inaugurated in 1616, the Church of San Pietro in Valle is today one of the finest baroque buildings in this region.Situated along Via G. Nolfi, it has an extremely simple brick façade.The single nave interior with side chapels and dome, is characterised by a richly fluid style of painted decoration. The stucco-work was carried out by Pietro Solari in 1619 while the frescoes are by Antonio Viviani of Urbino (1618-1620). The magnificent decoration of the dome (1699-1700) is the work of the Bologna artist Lauro Buonaguardia.A rich collection of paintings, today housed in the Civic Art Gallery, originally decorated the building. These paintings are by Antonio Viviani, Guido Reni, Alessandro Vitali, Giovan Giacomo Pandolfi, Simone Cantarini, Matteo Loves, Luigi Garzi, Lorenzo Garbieri, Giovanni Francesco Guerrieri, Sebastiano Ceccarini and Carlo Magini.
