Chiesa di San Rocco

During the works of the eighteenth century, a fresco of San Rocco and a coat of arms came to light.

The date of construction is uncertain: an ecclesiastical source, the archpriest Tomasi, places it in earlier times, but the documented mention is that of a pastoral visit of the late sixteenth century, which described it as being in poor condition. In the eighteenth century a bell tower was built, where previously there had been only a bell gable.

Soon afterwards came a major renovation, with new paving, a new portal on the façade and the rearrangement of the hall, from which an old altar was removed. During those works a frescoed section depicting San Rocco came to light, together with a noble coat of arms, and the façade was decorated with an image of the Madonna with the Child Jesus. The tower was completed towards the end of the century.

In the twentieth century the sacristy was built and the nave and the presbytery were decorated. After the First World War two new bells were cast to replace the historic ones requisitioned by the Austrians, and a statue of San Rocco was placed on the façade.

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.
