Its dedication changed after a fire and a rebuilding.

Towards the end of the second half of the 18th century there was a chapel in Piazzola dedicated to San Giovanni Nepomuceno and San Pantaleone, consecrated in 1754. About thirty years later a fire seriously damaged it and it had to be restored; once the work was finished, it was raised to the status of curacy of the old church of San Bernardo.

In 1836 the original building was rebuilt in modern forms, and on 13 May 1838 the second consecration was celebrated, this time with a different dedication: to the Madonna di Loreto. In the first decade of the 20th century the dome of the hall was enriched with fresco decorations, and in 1919 the church was granted parish status.

The apse semi-dome was decorated in 1951 by Giuseppe Valerio Egger. The liturgical reordering of 1967 is the last major structural intervention: the altar facing the people was made by dismantling the historic high altar, while the ambo was built from a wooden structure that previously served another purpose.

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.
