Chiesa di San Vittorino is one of the many decaying former churches scattered across Italy. However, the story of this particular site is fascinating. Its roots date back to Roman times when the location was home to a temple. The former pagan temple somehow became a place of worship for early Christians in the area. In the first half of 300 AD, Christians were heavily persecuted by Diocletian, the Roman emperor at the time. Many were killed, and some are still recognized as martyrs and worshipped to this day. San Vittorino himself, according to an old legend, was beaten and left to die hanging over a stream of sulfuric water, which poisoned him after three days. He was the founder of the first Christian community in the area. For this reason, he was captured and killed by the Romans.
