The church of San Martino in Campiglio is a small fourteenth-century church surmounted by a high bell tower that characterizes the panorama of Bolzano north along the Brenner motorway.
A first dedication of the church dates back to 1180 and a second to 1303. Today’s building has undergone renovations over the centuries, including the construction of the sacristy in 1610.
The paintings in the nave with scenes from the Passion of Christ (1403), of a soft and gentle pictorialism, are the work of an artist close to Hans Stotzinger and therefore belong to the Bolzano School.
The apsidal frescoes of the Master of Siusi combine the influences of Veronese models derived from Altichiero, the reception and development of compositional, architectural and spatial solutions typical of Italian painting in the second half of the century. The paintings are in an excellent state of preservation and still show intense and glazed colours.
