Geographical notes
Pelugo is located in the southern part of the Val Rendena in the Trentino area, at the mouth of the Borzago Valley which rises to the Lares and Carè Alto glaciers. It is 48 km away. from Trento, 93 from Brescia.
Background
A castelliere above the village recalls the prehistoric settlements that affected the area. Subsequently there are no particular events for this small town, if not a probable flood that destroyed a large part of it and the fire of March 4, 1922, after which it was rebuilt.
Annexed to Italy with Trentino after the First World War, it subsequently experienced a fluctuating situation as a community, since the Municipality was now constituted, now dissolved and aggregated to Vigo Rendena. From 1946 it was reconstituted for the last time, but it still remained among the Lilliputian municipalities, those with a population of less than 500 inhabitants.

How to get around
What see
- Church of Sant'Antonio. The charm of the church of Sant'Antonio Abate hinges on two aspects: the contrast between its architectural volumes and the triumph of colors of the pictorial decoration of the Baschenis on its external walls. Built at the end of the fifteenth century, the church has a low structure that contrasts and helps to make the soaring bell tower even more slender; it was built in the place of a previous high-medieval building on which Gothic characters were grafted.
- The wide pitched roof makes the rustic aspect characteristic, well underlined by the frescoes on the facade and the south side which are the work of Dionisio, one of the painters of the Baschenis family from Bergamo, who completed the work in 1493. The church also preserves frescoes older ones made by another artist of the family in 1474 - 1475, Cristoforo I Baschenis father of Dionisio, for example Sant'Antonio, the Madonna with the Child and the Trinity.
- While not reaching the level of the frescoes of San Vigilio a Pinzolo with the famous Macabre dance and of Santo Stefano a Carisolo they represent an important example of religious painting which, despite being historically in the Renaissance period, dusts off reminiscences of medieval religiosity especially when it proposes the subject of Death that levels all social classes, from the emperor to the last poor.
- Parish church of San Zeno.
Events and parties
- Festival of the Angel. Last Sunday of July.
