At the entrance to the Quiliano valley, the church of San Pietro a Carpignana stands with its 15th-century campanile, preserving original Romanesque stonework beneath later additions. The combination of Romanesque structure and Renaissance tower is characteristic of the smaller Ligurian churches that never had the funds for a complete rebuild.
The setting is quiet and rural, with the valley opening behind the church toward the wooded hills above. Worth a look if you're passing through on foot or by bicycle along the valley road.
