The hill above Campodenno was called Doss del Dronech, and according to the historian Desiderio Reich a hill fort stood there in prehistoric times, a fortified settlement that the dialect called Ciastelaz. The present name probably comes from the little church: an investiture of 1363 mentions the dossum fori S. Pangratii, so the church already existed.

The level ground next to the hermitage is still called Ciamp del Marcià, the market field: from the Middle Ages until the end of the 18th century, every 12 May, the feast day of Saint Pancras, an important market was held there. It is the kind of name that survives the thing that gave rise to it, and that tells how a village worked.

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.
