Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo

Three altars in 1537, two in 1579: even the furnishings have a history.

Bernardo Clesio, on a pastoral visit in 1537, described it as having three altars; forty years later, in 1579, there were two, dedicated to Saint Michael and Saint Vigilius. Around the middle of the seventeenth century the building was in very poor condition and was restored: the consecration of the rebuilt church was celebrated on 7 September 1654.

It stands in an elevated position above the small hamlet of Priò, surrounded by the community's graveyard. The bells have had an eventful life: two were recast in the late nineteenth century by the Chiappani foundry of Trento because they had been damaged, and two more after the First World War, to replace those requisitioned by the Austrians.

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.
