About San Pietro in Vincoli
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 – with solemn masses in honour of San Pietro – 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.
