Where is it located? Along Le Vie dell’Abbazia, coming from the ford along the ancient Roman road and towards the Molini di Stalis. Save as: a small oasis in the middle of the countryside, a medieval chapel revived thanks to the love of a group of enthusiasts of the history, art, and traditions of their country. A bit of history. Like the nearby Molini di Stalis, the rural Chapel of San Pietro is also mentioned for the first time in documentary sources in a Bull of Pope Lucius III, dating back to 1182: it establishes the autonomy of the Abbey of Santa Maria di Sesto from the Bishop of Concordia, and confirms its privileges and possessions, among which is also our small Chapel. The question, someone might say, "arises spontaneously": why was a church built in the middle of the countryside, far from both the center of Versiola (the hamlet to which it belongs) and the other villages, which each have their own churches? Monsignor Giancarlo Stival, Parish Abbot of Sesto al Reghena, who has studied the history of this site, ventures a fascinating hypothesis: "The Sesto monastery (dedicated by the Founders to the Virgin Mary, to Saint John the Baptist, and to Saint Peter Apostle of Christ) appears, between the 11th and 12th centuries, particularly committed to demonstrating and guaranteeing its autonomy, and it does so by referring on one hand to direct dependence on Aquileia, and on the other by propagating its own 'submission' to the apostolic see, and therefore a special dependence on the pope. The Sesto abbots have concretized this reference, not only ideal, to the Apostles, and to Saint Peter in particular, with a series of buildings and monumental elements. At the borders of the Abbey's properties, they built (and endowed) a church to Saint Petronilla, near Savorgnano (and in the Middle Ages, Saint Petronilla was believed to be the daughter of Saint Peter); in Saletto, a place of worship was built in honor of Saints Peter and Paul; in the same abbey church – at its heart – a grand cycle of frescoes would tell the Stories of Saint Peter. In this logic, the title of the church of San Pietro di Versiola, built in open countryside perhaps not so much to serve communities, but as a symbol and reminder, would also be explained." (from San Pietro di Versiola – Studies, research, and chronicle of a restoration, edited by Giancarlo Stival, Comune di Sesto al Reghena, 1997) The medieval Chapel, restored in the 1990s, features a rectangular hall of about 5.80 by 7.50 meters and a small semicircular Romanesque apse with a lowered arch opening. The half-moon window reveals a reform of the building during the 18th century. The walls were frescoed in different periods, but unfortunately, little remains today of the original decoration; a 15th-century fresco with the Virgin, Child, and St. Sebastian is preserved.
