The Pieve di Pione rises inside the town, preceded by a wide churchyard, closed by a small wall, with an east-west orientation. The facade is a gabled, tripartite and closed in at the corners by pilasters at full height and crowned by a triangular pediment with overhanging trabeation.

In the centre there is a rectangular, lowered arched portal and at the top there is a large lunette window. On the side fronts there are two rectangular windows on each side, in the upper part and the lower, seamlessly lower volumes of votive chapels.

At the rear, the semicircular apse, recessed in a reshaped shape, tripartite with full height pilasters, has two rectangular windows on the sides, in the lower part and a central rectangular window in the upper part.

The square bell tower rises on a low base on three orders, separated by stringcourses, with fronts decorated with cruciform and rectangular mirrors with oval openings in the centre.

The original building would have been built in the early Middle Ages while the present church was erected in the early nineteenth century to replace the previous building renovated in the eighteenth century.

The church is dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta.
