The church of Mastellina is documented from 1460, and at the start of the seventeenth century something happened to it that changed its form: a landslide blocked its façade. It was not cleared: another was built, and with that the layout of the church was altered.

In the twentieth century the trouble came from within: a collapse of the ceiling made it unusable from 1971, and it remained closed until 1975, the year in which the ceiling was replaced.

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.
