Also known as the church of the Madonna delle Grazie, it is mentioned in documents as early as the first years of the 13th century, but news of major works of enlargement and rebuilding only appears four centuries later. The solemn consecration took place in 1649 and was performed by Jesse Perchoffer, suffragan bishop of Bressanone.

For a short period after the middle of the 19th century, the church was used for civil purposes. In 1877 it was damaged by the serious fire that affected the whole village: restoration work followed, and in 1879 it was blessed and returned to the community. At the end of the First World War a new fire devastated it, and another restoration was needed to bring it back into use for worship in 1923.

In 1939 a large fresco was painted in the apse, and since the Second World War the church has been restored on various occasions, with repainting, installations and protection systems, including several lightning rods on the roof.

Today in the valleys

Gipthe bearded vulture of Valli del Noce

Hi, I am Gip. I am a bearded vulture: my species had vanished from the Alps in the 1930s, and the first one born in Trentino in at least a hundred and fifty years took flight from Val di Rabbi this past 16 July.

Ask me about places, the valleys or the people who work here. I answer with what is in our pages: if I do not know something, I will tell you.
