The Via Vigilius follows in the footsteps of Bishop Vigilius of Trent, who was born in 355 and presumably died around 405 in the Rendena Valley.Vigilius was a missionary in the upper Adige Valley and in the area of Trent as far south as Lake Garda. Thanks to his efforts, new parishes and churches were built. Numerous churches and chapels in the mountains, as well as the little church in San Vigilio, still bear his name. When he went to Val Rendena and threw a statue of Saturn into the river Sarca, he aroused the wrath of the pagans, who killed him, using sticks and wooden clogs. His remains were then taken to Trento to be buried in the cathedral, which he had himself built and where they are still found today. Saint Vigilius is one of the patron saints of South Tyrol, Trentino and also the patron saint of mines. His name derives from Latin and means vigilant. The Bishop's footsteps can often be found along the Via Vigilius, such as the small church of San Vigilio at the mountain of the same name, the pilgrimage site Senale, the sanctuary of San Romedio, and then down the Via Villi, where the Bishop passed for the last time before arriving in Val Rendena.
