About San Pietro in Vincoli

At the beginning of August, Affi, a small municipality in the hinterland of Lake Garda in the province of Verona, celebrates its patron saint, San Pietro in Vincoli, on August 1st. The festival revolves around the 18th-century parish church dedicated to the saint and combines the religious dimension โ€“ with solemn masses and community traditions โ€“ with the popular traditions of the town. A heartfelt event that brings together the inhabitants of Affi around the figure of the saint who gives his name to the village's main church.

The patron saint of Affi

The Festa Patronale di San Pietro in Vincoli is the most important event in the religious calendar of Affi, a municipality in the province of Verona, at the foot of Monte Moscal and a few kilometres from Lake Garda. San Pietro in Vincoli, celebrated on August 1st, is the town's patron saint and gives his name to the parish church.

The parish church

The heart of the festival is the church of San Pietro in Vincoli, built in 1761 on a pre-existing 11th-century Romanesque church. The parish, located on Via Chiesa, is part of the Diocese of Verona and the Veronese-Caprino Lake vicariate. The solemn celebrations of the patron saint's festival take place around this place.

Faith and community

As in many Veronese villages, the patron saint's festival intertwines the religious dimension โ€“ with solemn masses in honour of San Pietro โ€“ and the popular dimension, made up of moments of gathering for the community of Affi. It is an occasion for the town to come together around its roots and identity.
