To know
Geographical notes

Background
There are no particular events in the history of Justin, who also denounces a distant origin in the name of Latin descent. Periodically aggregated to Pinzolo, then repeatedly returned to administrative independence, the municipality of Giustino has benefited from the proximity to Pinzolo, developing a tourist vocation perhaps less conspicuous than the more important neighbor, but fundamental for the economic well-being of the town. The poverty of the past, with mass emigration that marked not only Justin but the whole valley, is remembered in the municipal coat of arms with the figure of a grinder, a migrant who brought his work to many parts of the world.

What see
- 1 Parish Church of Santa Lucia. Its origin dates back to the thirteenth century, but it was remodeled, modified and rebuilt several times. The large granite portal leads into a Renaissance interior with cross vaults and pilasters and arches also in granite. The main altar is a work in sculpted, gilded and polychrome wood from the sixteenth century and together with that of Condino in the Basse Giudicarie represents one of the highest examples of this ornamental art of the Trentino Renaissance. Its authorship is attributed to Stefano Lamberti from Brescia, who, like other sculptors from Brescia, was active in the first half of the sixteenth century in the valleys of south-western Trentino. Remains of frescoes representing the life of the Madonna, the Nativity of Jesus and the death of Mary are attributed to the Baschenis who worked a lot in the Valley in the sixteenth century.
- The church of Santa Lucia had the last restoration work in the two-year period 2009-2010. Among the interventions carried out, the removal of the plastering that in the nineteenth century was given to the bell tower, to the facade and to internal parts of the building was certainly of great effect; this intervention has thus brought to view the structure of the sixteenth-century reconstruction of the church.
- 2 city Hall. Until the mid-twentieth century the current Town Hall was the arrival station of the cableway that carried the quartz extracted in the quarry above the village downstream. This activity ended in 1962. The municipality of Giustino in 1982 restored the building of the valley station of the funicular, making it the municipal seat, thus carrying out a commendable intervention of industrial archeology.
- Historic houses. Giustino has a historic center where there are houses with large walls and wooden upper floors. The portals are made of stone or granite and arched; the windows also have stone or granite architraves. Many of these old houses are decorated with frescoes and images of a sacred nature.
- Antonio Masè House. It has a fresco of the Immaculate Madonna with San Luigi and San Rocco.
- Tisi Banoi House. He has a Our Lady of Sorrows.
- Giovanni Cozzini House. It preserves a valuable sixteenth-century painting by the Baschenis painters (long and prolifically working in Val Rendena) of the Madonna and Child with San Vigilio, San Sebastiano and San Giacomo.
- Attilio Masè House. It is a well preserved example of traditional mountain rustic architecture.
- Giacomina Frizzi House. It has a painting of Madonna and Child in memory of the fire of 1933 and the machine guns of 1945.
