Twentieth century Church of Sant'Ilario
FAI Autumn days
The church is a truly valuable architectural work, a gabled building that dates back to 1921-22; it's part of the former "Istituto Provinciale per la Gioventù" (Provincial Institute for Youth) in the village Sant'Ilario of Rovereto. Designed by Giorgio Wenter Marini (1890-1973), it's inspired by the early Christian basilicas, in a vaguely Art Nouveau style.
The high altarpiece is an Immaculate Conception by Luigi Bonazza. It is worth a visit, also because the church is normally closed.
Due to organisational reasons related to the Covid-19 emergency, and therefore to avoid crowding, all visits should be BOOKED at the FAI website www.giornatefai.it : search the opening times in Trentino and register online.
A small contribution to the Foundation and its projects is required at the time of booking.
You do not need to bring your FAI card or the receipt of your contribution, but you will always need your face covering.
At the FAI Banks you can, of course, register with FAI or renew expired registrations.
