The town of Brendola, for years, was the victim of parochial clashes between the inhabitants that exasperated those who tried to resolve them so, in 1926, the four parish priests of Brendola founded a committee for the construction of a single church that centralized, spiritually and geographically, the population in one place.
Once the land was identified, the Bishop gave his approval (1928) and the first stone was laid in 1931.
Under the project of the architect Fausto Franco the first stone was laid on October 3, 1931 and immediately the project used the union of forces of many Brendolani of every hamlet, strictly volunteers, using the stones of the Monte Comunale and the sand of the Guà, proceeding with such a hurry that they asked the bishop for permission to work on Sundays. In the summer of 1933 the erected columns were already visible; when the archpriest fell ill two years later, the work did not cease and the heads of families continued to bring material and to build. On the top of the façade there is an imposing 4 m high statue of Saint Michael Archangel, sculpted by Giuseppe Zanetti.In the middle of the Second World War, however, the building site stopped without restarting, for reasons that are still not completely clear. The building, 28.5 m high and 1124 m² wide, remains unfinished just a step away from completion, clearly visible on the Cerro hill.
