The original construction dates to the second half of the 15th century, but the first written mention comes later, in the records of the 1537 pastoral visit of Bernardo Clesio, which describe it as dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Later episcopal directives ordered, in 1649, that the ceiling of the nave be repaired and that some parts which had been frescoed be whitewashed.

Between the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the following century the bell tower was partly rebuilt, and its upper part was built in masonry. In 1705 the church was raised to a primissaria linked to the basilica of the Santi Martiri di Sanzeno, and shortly afterwards to a curacy. The sacristy dates from 1783, the baptismal font from 1829, and in the last years of the 19th century the nave was renovated with new flooring, a balustrade in front of the presbytery, marble altars and new furnishings.

In 1905 part of the roof was redone and in 1911 the apical spire of the tower, in galvanised sheet metal, was completed. In the meantime people had begun to think of enlarging the nave, but the outbreak of the First World War interrupted the plans, which were carried out only in 1920.

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.
