In the locality Ponte di Torre del Colle, hidden by vegetation, the new church of Torre del Colle stands.

The building is a typical structure of the architecture of the 70s, designed and built by the architect Piero Sartogo, the engineer Valenti and the firm Lanfranco Brizi from Faustana (Trevi). It is a church that contains within itself a symbolic universe of the Christian faith.

The altar, made by a sculptor, Baverly Pepper, who lives between Todi and New York, is provisionally made of iron. The project is particularly appreciated in the 70s by the Cardinal of Boston, who asks for a copy.

The fresco depicting the martyrdom of Saint Lawrence is the work of Clemens Klopfenstein, a Swiss artist who has lived in Bevagna for many years.
