A Legacy of Devotion and History
In the heart of the vineyards of Casa Marques Pereira , a small oratory carries with it a history of faith, tradition, and resistance. Built in 1940 by Voldio Panizzi , the chapel was erected in devotion to Saint Anthony , reflecting the deep spirituality of the local community. More than a religious symbol, its construction also represented a protest against the transfer of the chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary to another site, demonstrating the strong bond between faith and the identity of the people of the region.
Architecture and Cultural Heritage
With a unique architecture designed by the stonemason Orestes Albertti , the chapel stands out for its rich details. Inside, it houses an image of Saint Anthony , considered the patron saint, and an imposing painting of the Last Supper , a gift from Francisco Panizzi , son of the founder. Each element of this oratory evokes the devotion of generations and perpetuates a legacy that transcends time.
