The place of worship of Samoclevo is first mentioned in 1374, and then again more than a century later, in 1481 and 1497. In 1732 the church was raised to a curacy of the pieve of Malé, that is, of the church of Santa Maria Assunta.

In 1824 the original building was replaced by the modern one, built on the same site, and as soon as the masonry works were finished the decoration and stucco work began. The solemn consecration was celebrated the following year, in 1825, by the Bishop of Trento Francesco Saverio Luschin, and in 1919 the church became a parish church.

The façade is gabled, between neoclassical and late Baroque, with four pilasters supporting a large triangular pediment; the portal has an architrave and is surmounted on the same axis by a large window with a mixtilinear upper outline. The liturgical adaptation carried out between 2006 and 2008 is permanent, and at its conclusion, in November 2008, a new consecration was celebrated.

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.
