The parish church of Vervò is mentioned as early as the first half of the fourteenth century, and in the following century it received the Eucharistic tabernacle and the baptismal font. Between 1490 and 1499 it was enlarged and, once the work was finished, on 25 May it was solemnly consecrated by the suffragan bishop Francesco De la Chiesa; it then received the status of a curacy and a priest permanently assigned to it. Its first bell was cast for it in 1547.

Then came the altarpiece of the high altar, the decoration of the nave and, in the lunette of the façade, a fresco of the Madonna. When that work was finished, in 1649 Jesse Perchoffer, delegate of Bishop Carlo Emanuele Madruzzo, celebrated a second consecration. At the end of the eighteenth century the bell tower was rebuilt in masonry with a new roof, in the nineteenth century two bells were cast to be added to the existing one, the furnishings were supplemented, and in 1886 a third consecration was celebrated.

The church received the status of a parish in 1920, and immediately afterwards two new bells had to be cast, because during the First World War the Austrians had requisitioned the others.

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.
