Chiesa di Sant'Egidio

The new name is probably linked to a local family.

In Quetta a place of worship almost certainly existed from 1329, dedicated to the holy Magi. It was almost entirely rebuilt in the early sixteenth century and immediately decorated: of those frescoes, the altarpiece of the right-hand side altar and a panel on the same wall survive.

In the records of Bernardo Clesio's visit of 1537 the church is already dedicated to Saint Giles, and the change of name probably has a domestic explanation: in the village there was the de Liliis family, also called Gigli or Zilli, in which the name Egidio recurs in the second half of the fifteenth century. An Antonio de Ziliis of Quetta contributed to the building of the new parish church of Denno, where his coat of arms can still be seen.

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.
