The Church of San Pietro Petroselli (15th century), known as S. Pietro dei Petroselli or S. Pietro Petrosiello (because it was built in a stony, rocky) or again S. Pietro al Torno (from the name in which the sacred building), is dedicated to St. Peter in vinculis, i.e. to the episode of the imprisonment of the Holy Apostle.
The oldest document regarding its existence is the Instrument of the churches of the Terra di Padula (June 1498), which shows that it was one of the churches annexed to the mother church of S. Michele Arcangelo. Today the church preserves wooden works of considerable importance: St. Peter and St. Paul, from the 16th century, a work of Lucanian craftsmanship and the coeval Madonna of the Graces. The presbytery area was completely restructured in the 20th century. and the Padula stone altar rests on the remains of an ancient pavement; below it, there is a funerary stone from 1537, the work of the craftsman of Padula.
