21. San Vigilio ChurchTradition has it that the San Vigilio church was erected on the site where Vigilius of Trent, the bishop of Trento, was martyred during his last trip as a missionary (on June 26, 405 CE). In place of the current high altar, it is said that there was the statue of Saturn that Saint Vigilius knocked down, which led to the tragic reaction of the pagan population. The painting on the façade are by Carlo Donati, a painter from Verona (1923). The current building dates back to 1541 and the bell tower to 1621. The interior is the work of Simone Baschenis II, now an established artist having painted the Dance of Death three years earlier in Pinzolo. In this church in Spiazzo Rendena, he painted a number of Stories of the Virgin, Stories of St. Stephen, and other Marian episodes.
