About

Maria Regina Vallis Augustanæ (Italian: Chiesa di Maria Regina della Valle d'Aosta; French: Sainte Marie Reine de la Vallée d'Aoste) is a Roman Catholic church located in Breuil-Cervinia, Valtournenche, Italy.

The interior houses two wooden bas-reliefs, works of the school of Fra Angelico, depicting Mary and the Child, and Bernard of Menthon, the patron saint of mountaineers and mountain dwellers.

The church features a three-nave structure with a bell tower. Flanking the portal are two bronze busts dedicated to prominent figures of the local community: father Vietto and father Sterpone, the latter remembered for his 40-year tenure as parish priest of Breuil-Cervinia.
