The hamlet of Casanova is a predominantly nineteenth-century and modern settlement, but with some survivals of older buildings. A house built in stone, dating back to the beginning of the 16th century, is an example of ancient and refined architecture. The house, which has a portico on the ground floor and a loggia on the upper floor, was restored and perhaps remodeled in the eighteenth century. The presence of a singular monogram of the Name of Jesus, in which the central H is replaced by the three mountains representing the coat of arms of Montorio, on the architrave of the entrance to the residential floor, suggests that the building was intended for religious uses . The church of S. Martino, mentioned in medieval sources, was completely renovated in the modern period (1955/60). The residents are very active and organize various events, among which the "Living Nativity" stands out in which everyone participates.

The feast of the patron saint, S. Martino, is celebrated on 11 September.
