Cathedral of Santa Maria and San Vitale, Gothic Revival cathedral in Montecchio Maggiore, Italy.

The cathedral of Santa Maria and San Vitale is a Gothic Revival church with a main nave structure and multiple side niches for altars. A prominent bell tower with ten bells rises above the roof and defines the town's skyline.

Archpriest Antonio Simionati, who arrived in Montecchio in 1846, pushed for a new church because the medieval pieve was decaying and the population had grown. The Vicenza engineer Eugenio Volebele designed it in 1863 in the Gothic Revival style, unusual among Vicenza's neo-Palladian churches. Work began in September 1873 and the first stone was blessed on 27 September 1874. Volebele resigned in 1883; Giovanni Zambler took over, and the church was inaugurated on 21 August 1892.

The church keeps altars and paintings from the demolished pre-1000 parish church, including an 18th-century altarpiece by the Vicentine painter Giovanni Antonio De Pieri and a 15th-century stone triptych. Frescoes by Carlo Costantino Tagliabue date from 1909, and a Via Crucis and large crucifix were painted in 14th-century style. The building is dedicated to Saint Vitalis of Milan.

The church stands on Piazza Marconi at the meeting point of the two old districts of Montecchio Maggiore, with Palazzo Gualdo alongside and the castles on the hill behind. The bell tower rises to the left of the facade; its ten De Poli bells, the largest weighing 1865 kg, can be rung manually or automatically in the Veronese manner.

The first bell tower, under 10 metres tall, served until 1955, when it was demolished for the present 72-metre tower, built to plans by engineers Ascanio Pagello and Enrico Fontana. Its ten bells were cast by the De Poli foundry of Vittorio Veneto; the largest weighs 1,865 kg and the peal is in C3, hung in the Veronese manner for manual or automatic ringing.
