The Parish Church of San Giovanni in Ottavo, more commonly known amongst the locals as the Pieve del Tho, is located one kilometre outside Brisighella on the road to Florence, and is one the oldest church in the Lamone valley.

With its origins dating back to Gallia Placidia, the daughter of Emperor Theodosius, who probably had it built atop of the remains of a temple dedicated to Jupiter Ammone, it was probably built between the eighth and ninth century A.D.

Called "in ottavo" due to its location at the eighth mile of the Roman road Via Faventina, connecting Faenza with Tuscany, this impressive church is built on a Roman style with three aisles divided by arches resting over twelve marble columns, all different in thickness and colour. Artefacts of particular historical significance housed inside the Pieve include a Roman stone carved with a dedication to the four Emperors of the Age of Decline (376-378); a stone slab; a ceramic funeral gravestone of the "cappuccina" style; frescoes and a Corinthian capital used as a font.
