Chiesa dell'Immacolata e di San Zenone

In 1579 it was the church where children were buried.

It stands in Sanzenone, a hamlet of Ville d'Anaunia, and its date of foundation is not known: excavations place it between the 13th and 14th centuries. The village, the villa S. Zenonis, appears in a document of 1363, but the first direct mention of the church dates from 11 February 1518, when it was reconsecrated and the relics of the martyrs of Anaunia were placed in the altar.

The records of a visit in 1579 contain a detail that says a great deal about how people lived: children were buried here. In 1709 Francesco Floriano de Concini had the side chapel added, consecrated by the prince-bishop Giovanni Michele Spaur, the same man who was born at the castle of the Torre di Mezzolombardo.

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.
