Chiesa dei Santi Andrea ed Egidio
Pastoral visitation records call it sometimes the church of Sant'Egidio, sometimes that of Sant'Andrea.

The first mention of the small church of Salobbi dates from 1515, when the suffragan bishop Michele Iorba consecrated an altar there dedicated to Sant'Egidio, although it seems likely that the place of worship already existed by the early fifteenth century. In 1537 the records of Bernardo Clesio's pastoral visitation describe it as the chapel of Sant'Andrea the Apostle; in 1579 the documents of another visitation again give the dedication to Sant'Egidio. The two titles alternated until both were kept.
Towards the end of the seventeenth century the interior was renovated, with a vault built above the hall and the flooring relaid at a slightly higher level than before. In the 1970s that vault was demolished, because it was causing problems for the stability of the building, and replaced by a wooden ceiling that hid the roof trusses beneath the roof; the repainting of those years, however, provided the opportunity to recover fragments of ancient frescoes.
The most recent works, completed in 2005, removed that wooden ceiling, installed only three decades earlier.
