Patron saint festival In 257 days
Feast of Saints Peter and Paul
📅 Every year, on 29 June
On 29 June Tresivio, a municipality of 2,002 inhabitants in the province of Sondrio, celebrates its patrons Saints Peter and Paul.
The name comes from tres viae, the three roads that met in the old centre of the village; from that crossroads grew the Tresivio of today, which is nonetheless made of scattered contrade, each with its own church: San Rocco at Piedo, which in the local dialect they call Cè, and then Sant'Abbondio, Sant'Antonio, San Tomaso, Santo Stefano, besides the parish church of Santi Pietro e Paolo and the church of the Calvario, which stands on a crag.
What Tresivio is known for, though, is the Santa Casa Lauretana: a translation of the Holy House of Loreto, begun in Baroque style in 1646 and dedicated to the Nativity of Mary, celebrated on 8 September. It is the largest church in the whole of the Valtellina. The municipal coat of arms, by comparison, is brand new: it was granted in 2013.
