About Saint Fidelis in Poggiridenti
Saint Fidelis, patron saint of Poggiridenti
Poggiridenti is a small municipality overlooking the Rhaetian side of the middle Valtellina, in a panoramic position above Sondrio, in the province of the same name. Its patron saint is Saint Fidelis the Martyr, to whom the parish church, a building of ancient foundation, is dedicated: in 2014, the parish celebrated its 500th anniversary, testifying to a deep-rooted local religious history.
The patron saint's feast is one of the moments that mark the life of the parish community, experienced with the solemn Holy Mass and moments of traditional recollection. The San Fedele Association has also been formed around the figure of Saint Fidelis; it was founded in 2010 by a group of people connected to the tradition, art, culture, and religious history of Poggiridenti, and is particularly active in the celebrations of the parish centenary.
In a small village like Poggiridenti, in the province of Sondrio, the patron saint's feast maintains a strong identity value, intertwining devotion, historical memory, and a sense of community.
