The church of SS. Vittore and Corona was built between the 10th and 11th centuries and was a chapel subject to the Parish of S. Maria di Colognola. It was rebuilt in its current form between 1928 and 1929.
Externally, it presents a gabled facade. In the center, framed by two pairs of Ionic pilasters, opens the entrance portal with a full arch, above which a single window, also framed between two pairs of pilasters, illuminates the interior of the building. The facade concludes vertically with a pediment with a slightly projecting cornice.
The ground plan is a single rectangular hall, rhythmically divided by Ionic lesenes on which a high molded entablature is placed; the walls are adorned with eight canvases of particular value (works by Francesco Badile, Sante Creara, Anselmo Canerio, Bernardino India, and Pasquale Ottino). In the four lateral chapels are the altars of the Sacred Heart and the Sorrowful Virgin on the west side, and the altars of St. Teresa of the Child Jesus and the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary on the east side. The presbytery, with a quadrangular plan, is raised and concluded with a semicircular apse.
The nave is covered by a barrel vault with lateral grooves, rhythmically divided by smooth transverse ribs; the barrel vault of the presbytery and the apse basin are framed with borders and decorations drawn in tempera.
