On the streets of Trento on the track of the Simonino (Simon of Trent)
On the streets of Trento on the track of the Simonino is a historical and artistic itinerary to visit the places which were the venue of the story of Simon of Trent. The itinerary starts from the wooden low relief preserved in the museum and curls through the streets of the historical town centre involving via del Simonino, the low relifes at Salvadori Palace, St Peter’s Church and the Chapel of Simon, which has been opened extraordinarily on this occasion. This place, usually closed to public, preserves an important cycle of paintings dating back to 1669 by painter Pietro Ricchi, known as Il lucchese (“The Luccan”). The itineraray ends in Vicolo dell’Adige, where a memorial plaque affixed by the Municipality of Trento commemorates the sorry business that signalled the relations with the Jewish Community.
