The villages of Tolpecca and Versola are nestled among the slopes of the Valdantena valley, along the connecting routes that lead to the Prati di Logarghena (Logarghena meadows) and the Crocetta pass near the village of Arzengio. This stretch of valley is part of the official itinerary of the Via Francigena, winding through woods, springs, and landmarks, across bridges that span canals and streams. This roadway has been significant in the valley since Roman times: recent excavations in the Campo Roma area have established that the route connecting Sorano, the Cisa Pass, and Parma passed through here, later replaced or accompanied in the Middle Ages by the higher Lombard route for the Cirone Pass.

Versola and Toplecca do not have bell towers or churches: the parish church is San Matteo in nearby Casalina, but this does not mean that there are no expressions of faith from the people of these places.

In Versola, there were two oratories: one dedicated to Saints Bernardo and Francesco Saverio, no longer existing but mentioned as early as 1618 (its construction is attributed to the Chistoni family); the other is located in the lower part of the village and is dedicated to St. Maria Maddalena. It was established in 1736 by Don Giovanni Farfarana to replace the previous one, built in 1690 and deemed too cramped. As for the only known oratory in Toplecca Inferiore, commissioned by the Caffoni family, only a few ruins remain at the entrance of the village.
