The first document to mention it, in 1348, is a bequest of oil.

It serves the communities of Bolentina and Montes, hamlets of Malé, and is also known as the church of Santa Maria Maddalena in Montes. The first mention dates from 1348, in a will that leaves it some oil.

The solemn consecration was celebrated in 1474 by the suffragan bishop Albertino da Tridino. Around 1530 the hall was enlarged with a chapel on the right-hand aisle, and in 1533 a second aisle was added to the left of the main one.

In 1605 the church was raised to the status of a curacy, remaining linked to the pieve of Malé.

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.
