Dedicated to the martyr saints Fermo and Rustico, the church has ancient origins, before 1000 AD, as witnessed by the Lombard parchments kept in Piacenza’s Cathedral. According to them, in the 9th century Carpaneto was Episcopal Court. Though the church is not artistically valuable, it contains some frescoes dating back to the 16th century.
