The first documentary mention of the place of worship in Mezzana dates from 1211. The original church was rebuilt in the 15th century and in 1509 became a curacy of the pieve of Ossana, that is, of the church of San Vigilio; the solemn consecration was celebrated in 1527 by the suffragan bishop of Trento, Filippo de Vecchi.

In 1536 the hall was renovated and covered with Gothic-style vaults by craftsmen of Lombard origin, under the direction of Montori da Menaggio and Simone da Laino. In the first half of the following century, to the left of the church, the chapel of the confraternity of the Disciplini was built.

Around 1825 major enlargement works took place: the left aisle was built in the hall and the large porch was added in front of the façade, next to the bell tower. The church was raised to parish status on 19 March 1915, and in the years immediately after the First World War Carlo Donati decorated its interior.

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.
