Chiesa dei Santi Gervasio e Protasio

Two fires, and the first carried off the village archives.

The dedication to the martyrs Gervasio and Protasio suggests one of the oldest pievi in the area: a pievano of Denno appears in the documents as early as 1288. The present building comes from a reconstruction begun in the 16th century because the old church was no longer big enough for the inhabitants, and it was completed in 1542, as shown by the date that the pievano Gaspare Iosio had painted on the chancel arch.

In 1736 a fire devastated the sacristy and with it the ecclesiastical and municipal documents kept there: a loss that still weighs on anyone trying to reconstruct the history of the village. A second fire, in 1871, damaged the bell tower, which was repaired in a single year.

Today in the valleys

Just a moment...

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.
