La cinquecentesca Chiesetta della SS. Trinità, nascosta fra le case di Teregua, una piccola frazione del comune di Valfurva (SO), si individua per il campanile a vela, elemento raro e caratterizzante le modeste chiesette di campagna. All'apparenza, esternamente, non pare particolarmente apprezzabile, ma se avrete la pazienza di osservare gli scatti successivi, vi accorgerete che un involucro architettonico così semplice, nasconde, all'interno, dei veri tesori. Essa si presenta con una facciata a capanna ornata da un oculo e sopra il portale d'ingresso, da una lunetta affrescata con una rappresentazione della Trinità. La sua dedicazione alla Santissima Trinità, richiamo colto e decisamente meno popolare delle più antiche intitolazioni ai Santi intercessori e alla Madonna, è indice non solo della grave crisi che la cattolicità stava vivendo dopo la rivolta di Lutero (1517), ma anche del clima che preannunciò il Concilio di Trento (1545). Si tratta di un piccolo edificio a sala unica. Nel 1635, nel corso della Guerra dei Trenta anni, la Chiesa fu incendiata dalle truppe francesi del duca di Rohan con conseguenti danni agli affreschi e perdita della campana, che tre anni dopo sarà rimpiazzata da un nuovo bronzo opera del noto fonditore Nicolas Garnier proveniente dalla Lorena. In questo periodo (1644) venne costruita sopra quella preesistente, la sacrestia nuova adibita a magazzino del Monte di Pietà istituito in soccorso di orfani e vedove vittime della peste. Nel 1869 la Chiesa scampò ad un altro incendio divampato nelle case vicine. Negli anni della Grande Guerra, quando la linea del fronte correva sulle creste sopra l'abitato di Teregua, la chiesa divenne ricovero per le truppe. Si cercò allora di proteggere le pitture, chiudendo il coro con un tendone per limitare i deterioramenti provocati dal fumo delle stufe accese durante i bivacchi invernali. Successivamente gli affreschi e l'ancona vennero sottoposti a una nuova ridipintura che ne alterò purtroppo i colori originali. L'umidità con l'allargamento della strada attigua alla Chiesa mise a grave rischio la conservazione di tutto l'apparato decorativo. Durante l'estate 2004 la Trinità di Teregua, tra la sorpresa di molti, veniva considerata “luogo del cuore” da 3142 persone che ne reclamavano il salvamento. La piccola Chiesa si è classificata al quarto posto nella graduatoria nazionale del secondo censimento del FAI (Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano). Scatto effettuato nel mese di Luglio del 2017. #Chiese

In fact, Paul, the outside of this church does not say much (except perhaps the beautiful fresco of the Trinity in the lunette above the entrance door), but inside ....
Many thanks for the very welcome comment that made me a great pleasure!

Many thanks, Micio for the welcome comment!
It is true, the outside of the church does not say much, but the cycle of frescoes of the presbytery and the altarpiece are small wonders!

A beautiful church with a very simple structure that could also go unnoticed and not stimulate the visit inside.
Interior that instead turns out to be very interesting as demonstrated by your later images .....
The shot is very well done, both as a frame and as a management of colors and lights.
The caption is very interesting and complete.
Congratulations Massimo! :-)

Well, Roberto, when last summer I went to look for the little church on the advice of the owner of the residence of Santa Caterina, where I was staying, I do not hide that I felt a great sense of disappointment. Apart from the fresco in the lunette above the door, nothing special. Yes, nice location, nice view, nice mountains around, but ...
Waiting for the guide to open the church I wondered, doubtfully, if it was worth it and, with me, the other two people waiting for the opening.
As he opened the door they felt three ... wow !!!
Many thanks for the very welcome comment, I'm very happy with your appreciation of the shot and the caption!
Good evening!
Hello!
