Chiesa di San Lorenzo

Once new, a vault ruined the frescoes of Giovanni Baschenis.

No document survives for the construction, but Cunevo was home to a feudal family that supplied clergy to the diocese (Adelpreto di Cunevo is a canon of Trento in 1254), and the restoration of 1993 found remains that suggest an earlier chapel. The first written mention is in a document drawn up at Flavon on 11 July 1327.

In the 16th century the works that gave the church its Gothic forms replaced the trussed roof with a cross vault, and in doing so ruined the frescoes dated 1490 by Giovanni Baschenis. They came back to light only with the restoration of 1923. The date 1559 is carved on the main portal, probably the end of those works.

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.
