It flooded with every rainfall, so they rebuilt it from scratch.

It appears in the records of the pastoral visits from 1412. In the 18th century it was restored on the bishop's instructions because it had fallen into disrepair, and in 1785 it was given a chaplain shared with the neighbouring village of Don, from which it separated in 1793.

In the first half of the 19th century the chronicles describe it as in very poor condition and subject to flooding with every downpour. A first attempt at restoration, in 1834, was not enough: in 1845 work began with the demolition of the medieval building and its tower. For a time the village made do with a wooden bell tower; the walls of the new church were finished in 1847, the consecration came in 1865 and the final bell tower between 1873 and 1877.

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.
