According to tradition, the ancient Pieve of San Fidenzio was founded by the Este marquises on the summit of the hill of Baone, where the oldest settlement of the territory stood. Around 970, Marquis Azzo I is said to have had the relics of San Fidenzio kept in his castle, transferred by the will of Bishop Gauslino, likely commissioning a church dedicated to the saint.
Over the centuries, the population began to frequent the more convenient church of San Lorenzo, located in the plain and originally a private oratory of the Dottori family, donated to the community in 1406. In 1522, San Lorenzo officially became a parish; the building was enlarged while the ancient Pieve of San Fidenzio was progressively abandoned, entrusted to the care of a hermit and finally left in ruins. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the remaining materials were reused for the construction of the bell tower of San Lorenzo.
The church of San Lorenzo today retains three altars. On the main altar is a altarpiece from 1580 depicting the Madonna in throne with Child and Saints, attributed to the school of Paolo Veronese. On the sides are two paintings from the same school representing San Girolamo and San Giovanni Evangelista. Next to the church stands the small palace of the Dottori family, recognizable by the coat of arms with a dove holding an olive branch.
