In the second half of the 19th century the old church of the Addolorata no longer sufficed for the inhabitants, and it was decided to build a new one in the centre of the village, on land given by Count Paride Spaur. Among the projects submitted, the one by the provincial engineer Anton Geppert was chosen; the foundation stone was laid on 21 June 1874 and the work was completed in 1879.

What followed shows how things worked under the empire: on 16 October 1900 Sporminore obtained its independence from the parish of Spormaggiore through a ruling of the supreme court in Vienna, and only in 1907 did the heads of families give up the right to elect their own curate. In 1909 the church became a parish church.

During the First World War four of the five bells were requisitioned.

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.
