Chiesa di San Sisto II

The bells requisitioned in the war, recast as soon as peace returned.

The first mention of the place of worship may date back to 1344, and in 1481 a pastoral visit recorded the high altar as dedicated to Saint Zeno and Saint Sixtus: the dedication to Saint Sixtus II alone is fixed around 1687.

The present building is the result of a rapid reconstruction: work began in 1850 with the demolition of the previous church and was already finished in 1852, with the blessing on 18 July of that year and the solemn consecration in 1865. After the First World War two new bells were cast to replace those the Austrians had requisitioned, an episode that many churches in these valleys have in common.

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.
