About Saint Peter in Chains
The Patron Saint of Affi
The Patronal Feast of Saint Peter in Chains 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 kilometers from Lake Garda. Saint Peter in Chains, celebrated on August 1st, is the patron saint of the town and gives his name to the parish church.
The Parish Church
The heart of the feast is the Church of Saint Peter in Chains, 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. Around this place, the solemn celebrations of the patronal feast take place.

It is an occasion for the town to come together around its roots and identity.
