Trino

Trino is a municipality in the Province of Vercelli, located about 50 kilometers northeast of Turin at the edge of Montferrat hills. The town centers around the Romanesque church of San Michele in Insula, which holds medieval frescoes within its walls.

The church of San Michele in Insula was built between the 10th and 11th centuries and decorated with frescoes from the 12th century. These artworks reflect a period when visual decoration played an important role in spiritual life.
