Chiesa di San Rocco

Five centuries of service, then the replacement.

Between the villages of Ortisé and Menas, a first church was consecrated around 1400.

That church was replaced in 1902 by the one that stands today: five hundred years of service, and then the replacement. It is one of the seven churches dedicated to San Rocco counted among the places of these valleys, a saint who recurs here more than almost any other because he was invoked against contagion.

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.
