Pieve di Sant’Ambrogio is a Romanesque-style, Roman Catholic parish church or pieve located in the neighborhood of Bazzano in Neviano degli Arduini in the region of Emilia Romagna, Italy.

History

A church at the site is documented since 920, and was documented in 1004 as a pieve, able to confer baptism. The church still has a sculpted octagonal baptismal font from that era.

By the 12th century the church had assumed the three nave layout. Investigations have suggested the original apse was located where the facade now lies, an inversion occurring with a reconstruction in the 17th-century. Chapels were added to the church in the 18th and 19th centuries.
