Not to be confused with the sanctuary in the Val di Non: this is a small church in Roncio, dedicated to San Romedio the hermit and also to the cult of Santa Barbara, so that it is also called the church of San Romedio and Santa Barbara. It was built in 1591 and solemnly consecrated on 23 January 1593 by Gabriele Alessandri, suffragan bishop of Trento.

Around 1601 the interior was decorated with frescoes by an artist linked to the school of Cipriano Valorsa, and ten years later the simple bell tower, a wooden bell-gable, was erected. In the eighteenth century the vault of the nave received stucco decoration.

It stands among the houses of the village, with a simple gabled façade enriched by a large canopy, the portal between two windows and a small churchyard enclosed by a low wall, open only at the front; the roof and the canopy are covered with wooden shingles. Inside, the nave is single with a cross vault and a polygonal apse, and on the right-hand wall a fresco of the Madonna and Child survives: the only one left of the seventeenth-century decorations.

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.
