The church of Saints Victor and Corona was built between the 10th and 11th centuries. Initially a chapel subject to the parish of St. Mary of Colognola, it was elevated to parish status in 1921 and rebuilt in its current form between 1928 and 1929.
Externally, it features a gabled façade. The bell tower is attached to the western side of the parsonage, partially incorporated into it and communicating with the church through a disengagement room.
The floor plan is a single large rectangular hall with four side chapels housing the altars of the Sacred Heart and of Our Lady of Sorrows on the western side, and the altars of St. Teresa of the Child Jesus and of the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary on the opposite side; the presbytery is quadrangular, raised by three steps, and concluded with a semicircular apse. The nave is covered by a barrel vault with lateral flanges, articulated by smooth transverse ribs; the barrel vault of the presbytery and the apse are framed with painted cornices and decorations.
The internal facades, plastered and painted, are marked by Ionic pilasters on which a high molded entablature is established; the walls are adorned with eight paintings of particular value (works by Francesco Badile, Sante Creara, Anselmo Canerio, Bernardino India, and Pasquale Ottino).
The flooring of the hall is made of cement tiles arranged to form a checkerboard design of white and red squares; the presbytery floor is paved with slabs of red Verona marble and gray-green veined breccia.
The roof is gabled with a wooden supporting structure and a cover of terracotta tiles.
