The house where Chiara was born overlooks the square which takes its name from the church of Santa Maria Maggiore. She was baptised there on February 1, 1920 with the name of Silvia Maria Elvira. The church, commissioned by the bishop-prince Bernardo Clesio, hosted some of the General Congregations of the Council of Trent and stands on the site of the first place of Christian worship within the city walls. It is a symbol of the Christian roots of the city and its history. Edwin Robertson, a Baptist pastor and English writer, in a biography of Chiara Lubich, referring to the church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Trent, writes, “The church has not changed much since 1920, when Chiara Lubich was baptized there not as Chiara, but as Silvia. (…) How fitting that Chiara who was to become a bridge-builder between Catholic and Lutheran should be baptised … in a church that was built to be the host church of the decisive Council of Trent 1545-1563″1.[1].
