Pelugo

The small village of Pelugo boasts certainly a long history, however, it is not possible to set a date for the origins of this summer and winter resort near the Adamello-Brenta Nature Park in the Western part of Trentino. In late June, this locality attracts many tourists who want to attend the celebration of the "Festa Patronale dell'Angelo".

The parish church of Pelugo is dedicated to S. Zeno, whereas the cemetery church with its Romanesque tower is consecrated to S. Antonio Abate. The perimeter wall of the latter is decorated with marvellous frescoes by the brothers Cristoforo and Simone Baschenis, making it one of the most beautiful churches of the entire valley. One of the frescoes above the portal depicts S. Antonio Abate.

Interesting: the Adamello-Brenta Nature Park is popular for its rich variety in plant and animal species, including the brown bear.
