Santi Pietro e Paolo is a Roman Catholic church located in Bollengo, Piedmont, Italy.
The church, built around the year 1000, stood in the village of Pessano. From 1250 onwards, however, both Pessano and nearby Paerno were depopulated in favor of the adjoining fortified settlement of Bollengo and were eventually abandoned altogether. The church survived as the sole remnant of the village of Pessano.[1][2]
