The church of the Santissima Trinità is a subsidiary church of Borgo Sacco, a district of Rovereto, beside the church of San Giovanni Battista and the former tobacco factory. It was built by the Fedrigotti family and the then municipality of Borgo Sacco, out of devotion, in thanks for the protection of the population during a war, and finished in 1729. In 1801 it became the private chapel of the Fedrigotti; in the mid-twentieth century it returned to municipal ownership, except for a side chapel dedicated to the Madonna of Caravaggio.
What to see
The façade is classical in style, with a pediment; the architraved portal stands above a few steps and is topped by a lunette. To the right rises the bell tower, on a four-sided base, with a pyramidal spire covered in tiles and topped by a sphere and a cross.
The interior has a single nave, with no separation between nave and presbytery, covered by a barrel vault. It has decorative elements in marble and frescoes attributed to Gaspare Antonio Baroni Cavalcabò.
Visiting
The church is reported to be municipal property: openings and visiting arrangements should be checked with Rovereto town council.
Our editors' tip
The Fedrigotti, who wanted it, were a family from Sacco grown rich on the timber trade and on silk: at the end of the eighteenth century they had built in town, on corso Bettini, the palace that still bears their name.
