The Church of San Pietro Apostolo is a Catholic place of worship with neoclassical architecture, located at Strada Chiesa di Baganzola 15 in Baganzola, a hamlet of Parma, in the province and diocese of Parma. It is the seat of a parish within the pastoral area of the city. HISTORY: The original place of worship serving the village of Baganzola was built in the Middle Ages, but in 1180 it was destroyed, along with the village, by the fury of the waters of the nearby Parma River during a disastrous flood. The temple was completely rebuilt in Romanesque style on a single-nave plan, without an apse, developed on an unusual north-south orientation. In 1230, the Chapel of St. Petri de Bazanzola was mentioned in the Capitulum seu Rotulus Decimarum of the Diocese of Parma among the dependencies of the parish of Castelnovo. In the first half of the 15th century, as a result of the increase in the village's population, the medieval place of worship was profoundly modified, rotating the nave's orientation 90° and enlarging the entire structure. In 1564, the church was elevated to an independent parish and in 1685 it was elevated to the rank of honorary archpriest. In 1881, the place of worship underwent restoration work. In 1911, the church was partially renovated based on a design by engineer Massimo Maffei, with the construction of the apse, two chapels on the right and one on the left, adjacent to the façade, and the raising of the 13th-century neo-Romanesque bell tower. In 1933, the building was completely restored, including the removal of the tombstones inside and outside. Between 1966 and 1971, the side altars were removed and the old masonry high altar was replaced with a wooden altar. Between 1994 and 1998, the church was renovated again, with the floors redone, the plumbing installed, and the apse decorated.

The building, rebuilt in 1720 by Dorotea Sofia of Neoburg, wife of Duke Francesco Farnese, has an octagonal plan with two towers and a double-vaulted dome and a characteristic roof of yellow, blue and white majolica tiles. Inside, the dome, frescoed by Sebastiano Galeotti with the “Assumption welcomed into Paradise by the Trinity”, can be glimpsed thanks to a star-shaped opening. On the high altar is the “Annunciation” by Giovanni Maria Piane known as Molinaretto (1660 – 1745) and on the two side altars stand out “The Visitation” and the “Nativity” works by Clemente Ruta. On the entrance portal, in 1775, was placed the organ made by Giovanni Cavalletti with a wooden case carved by Ignazio Marchetti. By testamentary bequest of Dorotea Sofia, the oratory, the rectory and the annexed furnishings constituted hereditary assets of the Duchesses of Parma.  Source: https://colornoturismo.it/oratorio-della-santissima-Annunziata-Colorno/
