Chiesa dell'Immacolata
A parish priest travelled all over the Tyrol to pay for it, in a year of drought and war.
It is the parish church of Lover, a hamlet of Campodenno, and it replaces the old church of San Giorgio, first mentioned in a parchment of 1300. Of the old church, the parchment of 1481 attesting its consecration has recently been found in the archive of a presbytery in Val di Fassa.
Work on the new church began in 1859, and the credit is largely due to the parish priest don Francesco Valentini, who travelled throughout the Tyrol seeking funds and materials: these were the years of the Second War of Independence, and the previous year had been one of drought. A plaque on the inside of the façade commemorates him, and the street on which the church stands bears his name.
