Finally the "Piazza" with the Parish House and the rectory. It is here that streetSupermarket -Year 1980 -  (San Sigismondo - Val Pusteria - Bolzano - Alto Adige-Italy) takes the name of „im Peuren“ and splits in two streets, one on the left and the other on the right. At the beginning of the latter there is the oldest Maso of the village and up ahead Maso Neuhauser from which you can enjoy the beautiful landscape of San Sigismondo.
