Châtillon · Aosta · Aosta Valley
On 29 June Châtillon celebrates Saint Peter, in whose church the parish museum is set up, with its 15th-century reliquary casket.
The patron of Châtillon is Saint Peter, celebrated on 29 June, and the church that bears his name is the village's own.
Inside it is also the parish museum, a small museum of sacred art: a silver-gilt copper reliquary casket of the 15th century, chalices, monstrances and vestments from the 16th to the 18th century, two 15th-century wooden statues of Saints Paul and John the Baptist that once stood on the mullioned windows of the bell tower, and the 17th-century crucifix from the triumphal arch.
Other events within 20 km around the same days.
