Chiesetta della Vittoria (Little Chapel of Victory) – Jalmicco hamlet

In the heart of the village of Jalmicco, the Chiesetta della Vittoria is an intimate sanctuary of faith: a small, peaceful place that brings together historical memory and spirituality.

Surrounded by greenery and cypress trees, it commemorates the fallen of the First World War and reflects on the meaning of peace.

Built on the border that once divided Italy and Austro-Hungary, it preserves symbols, memorial plaques and testimonies that tell stories of sacrifice and hope, offering visitors a moment of reflection in a simple yet evocative setting.

The chapel of the “Queen of Victory and Peace” (Regina della Vittoria e della Pace) is surrounded by a small park with 22 cypress trees, each representing one of the 22 soldiers who fell during the First World War.
It was built between 1921 and 1922 at the initiative of parish priest Don Lodovico Passoni, on the former border between Italy and Austria-Hungary, on land donated by Antonio Liberale in memory of his two sons who died in the war.
Inside, it preserves a wooden statue of the Madonna of Peace with olive and dove symbols (Demez workshop, San Ulrico in Val Gardena), along with medals belonging to veterans, a plaque quoting an excerpt from the “Bulletin of Victory”, a memorial plaque dedicated to the land donor, and another listing the names of the fallen soldiers.

Accessible for visitors with motor disabilities, sensory disabilities with accompaniment, intellectual disabilities and psychological disabilities.
