The village of Pecorile is located in a strategic position in the Campola valley, at the crossroads between the road that goes up the stream to Canossa and the historic ridge road that leads to Casina (the current state road 63 of the Crostolo valley is from the twentieth century). It was therefore an obligatory point of passage towards the mountain. It appears to be owned by the Canossa family in 1321 together with Bedogno and Prede. The villa is mentioned together with Vezzano in a document from 1447. Until 1605 it depended on Vezzano, then in the first half of the same century it passed to the fiefdom of Bedogno established by Cesare d'Este with the title of county. In the town, a tower house of fifteenth-century origin stands out in particular, which develops a quadrangular plan on four levels and an upper dovecote. This is delimited by a characteristic brick curb with a linear and sawtooth arrangement superimposed. A second tower house, probably later, was renovated during the twentieth century but has not undergone substantial changes; it stands along the western edge of the provincial road. The entrance and the façade face the inside of the courtyard-yard, enclosed by the barn and a long building.
The oratory dedicated to S. Serafino is not ancient, it dates back to 1921. It has a gabled facade with a large roof overhang and a small bell tower, with a single-lancet window cell, cusped.
Going up the provincial road coming from Vezzano, just before the town, you come across, on the left, in an elevated position with respect to the road, a brick building that has the appearance of an ancient tower but it is not an ancient building but rather a nineteenth-century furnace, now disused. It is characterized by a quadrangular plan concluded by a gable roof. The facing is a light stone escarpment with inclusions and corner reinforcements in brick. The opening of the furnace is inserted in the eastern elevation.
