Chiesa di San Giorgio

Fires in the village burned its written memory.

The first document attesting a church at Peio dates from 1380, with the appointment of a chaplain, and the scarcity of earlier records has a precise reason: the fires that several times destroyed the village also carried off its papers. In 1384 the church obtained the title of curacy.

On 14 February 1481, thanks to Bishop Giovanni Hinderbach, a baptismal font and a resident priest arrived, on condition that the people of Peio provided for his upkeep. Of the original building only one piece remains, the lintel of the old portal, later moved to the side, which bears the date 1252 carved into it.

Today in the valleys

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.
