About
On this stone table, the community met to discuss significant issues, but it was also the scene of witch trials.
Until 1500, the Magnificent Community gathered around this stone table for its assemblies. It was a form of democracy ante litteram, with meetings chaired by the Scario (a sort of president elected annually) in which the fire chiefs, the representatives of the various communities from Trodena to Moena, participated. In 1505, 28 people were accused of witchcraft and 18 were condemned to the stake and burned alive. The public trials took place, as usual, at the Banco della Resón on January 5 each year.
