Tips from the Community
The Pieve di San Giovanni Battista, which is documented from 1163 and which tradition holds was founded by Matilde di Canossa, is a Romanesque church. It retains practically all its medieval features: the internal three-nave structure, the columns, the capitals, the crypt and, externally, the entrance portal, the two eyes with characteristic oblique mouldings, an archivolt with fine sculptures and some sections of the corbelled arcade frieze.

Old mill renovated on the outside. It still has the millstone and underneath there is the secondary channel that directed the water to move the rotor of the mill.

Dedicated to San Giovanni, there has been news of this parish since 1163, but it can be dated to the previous century. Inside there are paintings and sculptures of considerable value. The Modenese history and philosophy teacher Giuseppe De Polo dedicated a volume entitled "The Parish Church of Trebbio and its surroundings, landscape, history, architecture" of over 200 pages to this Romanesque parish church.
