Parrocchia di San Vigilio

The Vigilian Parish in the Heart of the Valley of Martyrdom

The Parish of San Vigilio in Spiazzo is the parish community dedicated to the patron saint of Trentino. Saint Vigilius, Bishop of Trento, was martyred in the 4th century in Val Rendena itself during his evangelisation of pagan Alpine communities. The Spiazzo parish guards this memory with particular intensity, being in the heart of the valley that was the scene of the saint's martyrdom.

The parish community of Spiazzo, an important centre in Val Rendena, keeps religious tradition alive through the care of its sacred buildings and celebration of feasts linked to the patron saint. The area's artistic heritage, with the Baschenis frescoes, further enriches the spiritual life of this community.
