The Church of Santi Pietro e Paolo (Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo) in Pieve Torina is in Capodacqua, a small hamlet of the municipality in the province of Macerata. It is a subsidiary church of the parish of Santi Pietro e Oreste, in the Diocese of Camerino - San Severino Marche, and is protected as a cultural heritage site.

Capodacqua is a farming village, linked to the raising of cattle, sheep and pigs. In the 15th century it lay within the territory of the castle of Torricchio, then a center of power that also included other nearby hamlets. It should not be confused with the church at the top of the village of Appennino, another hamlet of Pieve Torina: that is a separate building, described on the page on the Church of San Pietro (Pieve Torina).

Around the Church of Santi Pietro e Paolo in Pieve Torina

In Torricchio there is a 13th-century medieval castle that has kept its walls and the church dedicated to Santa Caterina; the area is known for the Riserva naturale Montagna di Torricchio (Montagna di Torricchio nature reserve).

In the main town, Piazza Santa Maria Assunta is the historic heart of the town and takes its name from the church that was once the archpriest's seat. The square has been rebuilt after the 2016 earthquake, while in spring 2025 the parish church was still destroyed, just as the earthquake had left it. Not far away, the Complesso di Sant'Agostino, medieval in origin and built by the Augustinian friars, now includes the church, the Museum of Our Land in Pieve Torina and the retirement home.

Other religious buildings in the area are on the page on churches of the Sibillini Mountains.
