San Pietro Di Feletto: Sacred Art and Cheese

San Pietro Di Feletto offers travelers interested in cultural history and local food culture a range of things to explore. Local highlights span sacred architecture and religious imagery, as well as a cheese producer with specific visitor experiences. When planning your trip, it is therefore worth distinguishing between historic sites and art on the one hand, and the museum, tours and tastings at Perenzin Latteria on the other. This lets you choose a focus for your stay; visits to Perenzin Latteria may require a reservation.

The Pieve and Sacred Art

The Pieve di San Pietro Apostolo dates back to the Lombard period and was most likely built on the foundations of an earlier Roman temple. It stands on a hill with panoramic views and has a large portico, probably added to the building in the 13th century. These dates refer to different stages in its history: the Pieve’s early origins and a later architectural addition.

The Pieve di San Pietro di Feletto has a chapel with a fresco cycle from the second half of the 15th century. The wall paintings depict episodes from the life of Saint Sebastian. A fresco cycle tells a story across multiple images; here, the saint’s life is the focus of several scenes.

The Hermitage and Exhibition

The remains of the former Camaldolese hermitage of San Benedetto are located on Colle Capriolo. The hermitage was established in the second half of the 17th century. Compared with the Pieve, which dates back to the Lombard period, San Benedetto therefore belongs to a much later period in history. Together, these dates span a period from the Lombard era to the second half of the 17th century.

The Galleria dell’Eremo in Rua di Feletto is an exhibition hall in the former Camaldolese hermitage, where major art exhibitions are held. Since exhibition programs can change, check in advance which exhibition is scheduled during your trip.

Religious Imagery

The Cristo della Domenica is considered a rare late medieval depiction from popular religious culture. It shows Christ wounded by agricultural and craft tools. This motif adds its own visual language to the architectural history, with the tools forming part of the depiction.

Cheese and Visitor Experiences

Perenzin Latteria offers visits to its historic company museum, tours of its aging cellars, and guided sensory tastings of Perenzin Latteria cheeses and wines from the region. Each experience has a different focus: the company’s history, the aging cellars, and tasting. Perenzin Latteria makes cheese from goat’s, cow’s and buffalo’s milk. Alongside the sacred and artistic highlights, this offers a specific experience centered on cheese and regional wines. Reservations may be required for visits.
