Chiesa della Natività di Maria

In 1558 it was still very small, and it already had three altars.

On the site there are remains of an older church, but the certain facts concern the fourteenth-century building and come from a notarial document. The church was consecrated in 1483 by the suffragan bishop Giorgio Vink; in 1548 it was renovated and enlarged, and those works were followed by a new consecration, celebrated by Mariano Manno in 1558. It was still very small, and it already had a high altar and two side altars. The bell tower dates from 1582, the status of primissaria from 1766.

Between 1791 and 1798 the building was substantially renovated and enlarged, with a new apsidal structure and a new façade, where the portal removed from the demolished one was put back. In 1854 it obtained the eucharistic tabernacle, four years later another consecration was celebrated, and at the end of the century the baptismal font arrived.

With the outbreak of the First World War the Austrians requisitioned the bells, which were replaced by 1929, and in 1943 the church became the seat of a parish.

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.
