The small village of Vignola is characterised by the parish church of St. Pancrazio, first mentioned in 1148. While it retains traces of the mediaeval building, such as a portion of the apse discovered a few years ago beneath the flooring, the church today presents a modern appearance, the result of numerous renovations that have taken place, especially since the beginning of the 18th century. However, some memories of ancient rites and traditions remain, such as the famous Pipìn, small wooden representations of infants in swaddling clothes, believed by many to be probable depictions of pagan idols that were worshipped in this area, as well as throughout Lunigiana, in very ancient times. Every year, on May 2nd, the eve of the feast of Santa Croce, whose cult is still alive in this place, these wooden figures were thrown into the bonfire lit in front of the church, commemorating and reenacting the conversion to the Christian faith.
