Church of St. Vitus in 1974, photo by Don Dino Bondavalli<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The church of St. Vitus is located on the road connecting Medole to the fourteenth-\ncentury former Augustinian convent of the Santissima Annunciata (The Holy\nAnnunciation). The building was probably erected at the beginning of 1600 and it\nwas originally smaller than its present structure. Its original chapel was later enlarged\nto include a forepart with two small side openings now closed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The burial place of the victims of 1630 Manzonian plague can be visited in the\nsurrounding area; this plague is known to have been brought to Italy by the\nLansquenets (mercenary soldiers). This is why the place is called Campo dei Morti di\nSan Vito (The burial site of the dead of St. Vitus).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1901 a plaque commemorating the sacrifice of the French soldiers who died on 24\nJune1859 in the battle of Solferino and San Martino was placed on the gable of the\nfacade. The bones of some of these soldiers, probably recovered from the four mass\ngraves dug in the adjoining areas and discovered in 1870, are still kept under the\nwooden altar.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Inside the church visitors can admire the 18 th -century fresco of the vault depicting the\nimmortality of the soul. A canvas representing the souls in Purgatory with the Holy\nTrinity was placed on the altar and there it stood until 1974, year in which it was\nstolen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is written evidence of the cult for Saint Vitus: a document dating back to 841\ndescribes a donation which includes a \u201ccasam Sancti Viti, cum omnibus, quae ad eam\npertinent\u201d [Saint Vitus\u2019s house and all the land related to it]. The document mentions a\nbuilding with people in it, not the church, though the latter must have been part of\nthe property itself. The written sources, however, do not provide any information\nabout the precise place of either house or church. What is certain is that the cult of\nSaint Vitus is closely connected to the history of our village.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
