This small church is located on the top of a hill in Brenta. This is an hamlet some km far from the center of Caldonazzo. It is part of the village.

This church probably was built before 1259. I don't know when it is opened. Once a year a feast is held there.

Favorite thing: Caldonazzo has three nice parks where you can rest a bit. Children can amuse themselves a lot, because these parks are also playgrounds areas. In one of the parks there is a beautiful wooden ship where children can go inside and pretend to be a sailor, or a pirate.

My favourite park is the one located some meters far from the church. I like it because it was not flattened, so that it is quite a natural park.
